Notable Quotes 2
Given the existence of the compensation arrangements described above, the Solicitation Agent may benefit financially from referring clients to an Access Fund rather than to other competitive funds or other products that may also be appropriate for particular clients.
As a result, the Solicitation Agent's receipt of such payments from the iCapital creates a potential conflict of interest in the form of an additional financial incentive to the Solicitation Agent, its equity owners and investment representatives to refer clients to an Access Fund.
