Common use of Omnibus Accounts Clause in Contracts

Omnibus Accounts. You may invest indirectly in the Program through a broker- dealer that maintains a master account (an “Omnibus Account”) with the Program on behalf of its customers. Trades made by the customers of such a broker-dealer are typically aggregated by the broker-dealer for transmission to the Program. Under an Omnibus Account arrangement, your broker-dealer maintains an Account for you on its own books and performs all services in connection with your participation in the Program. Services performed by your broker-dealer include accepting and processing initial and subsequent Account contributions and distribution requests; delivering financial reports, statements, tax reports and other information; and maintaining all records of your participation in the Program. All Program features, privileges, services, and restrictions described in this Program Disclosure Statement may not apply or be available to you, and you may be subject to policies and procedures established by your broker-dealer that are not described in this Program Disclosure Statement. Contact your financial advisor for additional information. The Program Manager or the Distributor may also pay service fees from their own assets to a broker-dealer who maintains Omnibus Accounts on behalf of their customers.
