Occasionally, the value of the credits received by JMP Securities from one or more such market centers may exceed the amount charged to JMP Securities. Under these limited circumstances, such payments would constitute payment for order flow. Good-Til-Cancelled Orders JMP Securities does not accept Good-Til-Cancelled orders from customers of its institutional trading desk; JMP Securities accepts only day orders from them. If such a customer sends JMP Securities a Good-Til-Cancelled order, it will be treated by JMP Securities as a day order in all respects. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy and practice, please contact your JMP Securities representative. Extended Hours Trading Risk Disclosure Pursuant to both FINRA and NASDAQ rules, JMP Securities is required to provide the following disclosures regarding risk associated with customer trading in the Pre-Market and Post-Market Sessions: Risk of Lower Liquidity. Liquidity refers to the ability of market participants to buy and sell securities. Generally, the more orders that are available in a market, the greater the liquidity. Liquidity is important because with greater liquidity it is easier for investors to buy or sell securities, and as a result, investors are more likely to pay or receive a competitive price for securities purchased or sold. There may be lower liquidity in extended hours trading as compared to regular market hours. As a result, your order may only be partially executed, or not at all. Risk of Higher Volatility. Volatility refers to the changes in price that securities undergo when trading. Generally, the higher the volatility of a security, the greater its price swings. There may be greater volatility in extended hours trading than in regular market hours. As a result, your order may only be partially executed, or not at all, or you may receive an inferior price in extended hours trading than you would during regular markets hours. Risk of Changing Prices. The prices of securities traded in extended hours trading may not reflect the prices either at the end of regular market hours, or upon the opening of the next morning. As a result, you may receive an inferior price in extended hours trading than you would during regular market hours. Risk of Unlinked Markets. Depending on the extended hours trading system or the time of day, the prices displayed on a particular extended hours system may not reflect the prices in other concurrently operating extended hours trading systems dealing in the same securities. Accordingly, you may receive an inferior price in one extended hours trading system than you would in another extended hours trading system. Risk of News Announcements. Normally, issuers make news announcements that may affect the price of their securities after regular market hours. Similarly, important financial information is frequently announced outside of regular market hours. In extended hours trading, these announcements may occur during trading, and if combined with lower liquidity and higher volatility, may cause an exaggerated and unsustainable effect on the price of a security. Risk of Wider Spreads. The spread refers to the difference in price between what you can buy a security for and what you can sell it for. Lower liquidity and higher volatility in extended hours trading may result in wider than normal spreads for a particular security. Risk of Lack of Calculation or Dissemination of Underlying Index Value or Intraday Indicative Value (“IIV”). For certain derivative securities products, an updated underlying index value or IIV may not be calculated or publicly disseminated in extended trading hours. Since the underlying index value and IIV are not calculated or widely disseminated during the pre-market and post-market sessions an investor who is unable to calculate implied values for certain derivative securities products in those sessions may be at a disadvantage to market professionals. Potential Risks of Private Fund Investing Offers and sales of private funds or other investment products are not made by this site and are only made by an offering memorandum when, as and if provided by Harvest Capital Strategies and, in any case, are only provided to accredited investors (as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and qualified clients (as defined in the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended). Potential interested parties should be aware that investments in private funds are highly speculative, illiquid and involve a substantial element of risk. Any potential investor in a private fund should be prepared and able to lose an entire investment without hardship to them. Any potential interested parties should also be aware of the following general risks to private fund investing. All of the following are in addition to the specific risks that may be associated with any particular investment and should be considered in evaluating the merits and suitability of making such an investment: Loss of Capital. Investors are at risk of losing all or a substantial amount of any investment. Past Results. Past results are not a guarantee as to the future performance of an investment or a strategy. Speculative Investment Practices. Among other things, funds may engage in leverage and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of loss. Illiquidity. Investments are subject to limitations on withdrawals that make fund interests relatively illiquid. Infrequent Valuation Information. Funds managed by Harvest Capital Strategies are not required to provide frequent pricing or valuation information, and dissemination of tax information to investors may be delayed. No Registration of Funds or Interests. Neither the funds managed by Harvest Capital Strategies nor the interests therein are registered with any regulatory authority, and Harvest Capital Strategies does not intend to so register them. Limited Access to Information on Investments. Information regarding underlying investments in a fund of funds may be severely limited, and the manager may be unable to obtain additional or verify such information provided. Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses charged by private funds are typically higher than the fees charged by registered mutual funds. Certain Tax Risks. An investment in a private fund may involve certain tax risks. In addition, particularly with respect to funds of funds, delays in manager reporting may require investors to seek extensions of the deadline to file their tax returns. The foregoing does not purport to be a complete explanation of the risks involved in investing in private funds. A fund’s offering materials typically describe the risks and conflicts of interest relating to an investment in the fund. Each prospective investor who is qualified by Harvest Capital Strategies and receives these documents is urged to read them carefully to determine whether an investment in such fund is suitable for such investor in light of, among other things, such investor’s financial situation, need for liquidity, other investments and other general considerations.
