The Company's advice is not influenced by this association. As a matter of policy, a client with an active paying relationship with the Company is not offered the products or services of Paterson group entities or of Alphabridge Financial Services LLP, and active clients of those entities are not onboarded by the Company while those relationships remain active. Clients are free to execute recommendations through any broker or platform of their choice. The Company receives no commission, brokerage, referral fee or other consideration from Paterson Securities Private Limited, Alphabridge Financial Services LLP, any other intermediary or distributor, or any issuer of securities it recommends; its remuneration consists solely of the advisory and subscription fees paid by its clients. The Company also publishes model portfolios through its platform partner, smallcase; subscription fees for those portfolios are paid by subscribers through that platform.

5. Holdings, Positions and Conflicts of Interest

The Company, its directors or employees may, from time to time, hold positions in securities that are also recommended to clients. Such holdings do not influence the advice rendered; recommendations are made solely on the basis of the client's risk profile and suitability, and personal transactions of the team are subject to the Company's internal conflict-of-interest policy. Any actual or potential conflict of interest arising in respect of a specific recommendation is disclosed to affected clients. The Company does not receive any consideration, by way of remuneration or compensation or in any other form whatsoever, from any person other than the client being advised.

6. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The Company does not use Artificial Intelligence tools in formulating or delivering investment advice. Recommendations are prepared by its research and advisory team. Software automation is used for operational workflows such as onboarding, documentation, billing and record-keeping. Irrespective of the scale and scenario of any tool usage, the Company remains solely responsible for the security of client data and for compliance with applicable laws.
