NatAlliance offers Equity IPOs as a selling group member only. Certain equity IPO offerings may be significantly oversubscribed. This means that demand for shares outweighs supply. In such cases, not all clients will receive an allocation of shares and each client’s opportunity for receiving an allocation is greatly reduced. In connection with the firm’s equity selling group business, including in IPOs, NatAlliance allocates shares based on several factors, including clients with certain cash balances in their accounts or are active traders with the firm.

Key Questions to ask:
- Given my financial situation, should I choose a brokerage service? Why or why not?
- How will you choose investment to recommend to me?
- What is your relevant experience, including your licenses, education, and other qualifications? What do these qualifications mean?
What fees will I pay?
Retail investors will pay commissions or markups/markdowns directly/indirectly to their registered representative and the firm. Some investments, such as mutual funds and variable annuities, impose additional fees that will reduce the value of your investments over time. Those fees may include mutual fund expenses, variable annuities expenses, and surrender charges. You may also be charged other fees from the custodian of your account. These fees could include: maintenance fee, check copy fee, statement copy fee, returned checks, and asset transfers. Additionally, retail investors would be charged more transaction fees when there are more trades in their account and the firm therefore may have an incentive to encourage trading.
You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying. For additional information, please see http://www.natalliance.com/retailsales&trading/fees.
Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?
What are your legal obligations to me when providing recommendations? How else does your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?
When we provide you with a recommendation, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the recommendations we provide to you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means. The firm makes money via transaction costs, mark-ups/mark-downs, third party products, proprietary products, and principal/agency trading. More information about our conflicts is available at http://www.natalliance.com/disclosures
How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?
How do your financial professionals make money?
Our financial representatives are compensated based on commissions received from buy or sell transactions and/or mark-ups/mark-downs associated with the trade. This compensation creates some conflicts with your interests because the more transactions a client investor has in their account the more commissions they will pay.
Do you or your financial professionals have legal or disciplinary history?
Yes. A free and simple search tool to research us and our financial professionals is available at www.investor.gov/CRS
As a financial professional, do you have any disciplinary history? For what type of conduct?
