Anti-Money Laundering Statement

Barnhardt Capital Management, Inc. (BCM) recognizes that The International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (“Act”) imposes important new obligations on all financial firms for the detection, deterrence and reporting of money laundering activities. Under the Act, money laundering is defined as any financial transaction using income derived from criminal activity including, but not limited to, drug trafficking, fraud, illegal gambling and terrorism. BCM has established the following policies to ensure thorough compliance with all laws and regulations regarding money laundering. Prior to the opening of any new account, BCM shall document the identity, nature of business, income, source of assets, and investment objectives of each prospective customer. Accounts for persons or entities from countries that do not cooperate with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) guidelines on money laundering shall be subject to a heightened level of scrutiny. Accounts in the name of, or related to, any person or entity on the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person list shall not permitted. On an ongoing basis, BCM shall review account activity for evidence of suspicious transactions that may be indicative of money laundering activities. This review may include surveillance of: 1) money flows into and out of accounts, 2) the origin and destination of wire transfers, 3) non-economic transactions, and 4) other activity outside the normal course of business. BCM shall comply with all trade and economic sanctions imposed by OFAC against targeted foreign countries and shall cooperate fully with government agencies, self-regulatory organizations and law enforcement officials. As provided by the Act, BCM may supply information about former, current or prospective customers to such bodies.


Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means to you: when you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying accounts.
