‡Terms and Conditions
If you join a broker-dealer and registered investment adviser affiliated with Cetera Financial Group, Inc. (a “Cetera Company”) and participate in our GrowthLine program, and do not grow your assets under administration at least 38% faster than your peer group during the year following the latter of the date you complete the program or your four month affiliation anniversary (the “Measurement Period”), then the Cetera Company will refund your affiliation fees for that year, up to $2,400, upon your request (the “Growth Guarantee”).
Your “Peer Group” includes all individuals who registered with a Cetera Company before 2020 and remained registered throughout the Measurement Period and who had verified assets under administration exceeding $20,000,000 at the beginning of the Measurement Period. The GrowthLine Program is a marketing program and does not improve your clients’ account performance or provide investment advice. The calculated growth rate against the peer group is measured without market adjustment during the Measurement Period for purposes of the Growth Guarantee.
The Growth Guarantee is only available to the primary principal of new affiliates of a Cetera Company that have reviewed the Growth Guarantee terms and conditions and have completed all aspects of the GrowthLine program within six months of affiliation. The Growth Guarantee is limited to one primary principal from each newly affiliating group of advisors joining as a team. Refund requests must be received within 90 days of the expiration of the Measurement Period. Affiliation Fees will be refunded within four weeks of a valid refund request along with supporting documentation. No other charges, expenses or market losses will be refunded. The Growth Guarantee does not modify or alter the terms and conditions of any agreements between you and a Cetera Company and/or affiliate. You are not eligible for the Growth Guarantee if you are an existing affiliated advisor with Cetera, if you’re a new affiliate to Cetera and did not pay an affiliation fee, if your affiliation is a result of a merger or acquisition, and if you have an outside registered investment adviser firm. Other restrictions may apply. Cetera reserves the right to change or terminate the Growth Guarantee at any time.
For more information about the Affiliation Fees, please contact your Growth Officer or Relationship Manager.
