Distinction Between Research Services and Fairlead Technical Intelligence
Fairlead Technical Intelligence is a separate automated analytical tool. Unlike certain research and advisory services offered by Fairlead Strategies, FTI does not issue investment recommendations, buy or sell ratings, price targets, or instructions to purchase, sell, or hold securities.
FTI's short-, intermediate-, and long-term technical readings, Slack Tide signals, key reference levels, and other outputs describe technical market conditions under a rules-based methodology. They are not recommendations concerning the investment merits of a security or the suitability of any transaction.
4. Opinions, Forecasts, and Forward-Looking Statements
The views, analyses, market outlooks, price targets, support and resistance levels, forecasts, recommendations, and other opinions expressed in Fairlead Strategies' analyst-produced research reflect the judgment of Fairlead Strategies and its personnel as of the applicable publication or analysis date.
These views are subject to change without notice and may differ from subsequent research, market commentary, automated analytical outputs, or investment decisions made by affiliated entities.
Forecasts, projections, technical signals, investment recommendations, and other forward-looking statements involve assumptions, uncertainty, and judgment.
Actual market conditions and investment outcomes may differ materially from those anticipated.
Technical assessments represent observations or opinions based on available market information and analytical methodologies and should not be interpreted as guarantees of future price movements or investment performance.
FTI does not generate analyst opinions, investment forecasts, price targets, or buy, sell, or hold recommendations. Its automated classifications and signals are not intended to predict specific future prices or investment returns.
Fairlead Strategies undertakes no obligation to update previously published Content except as otherwise required by applicable law or contractual obligation.
5. Conflicts of Interest, Affiliations, and Personal Holdings
Fairlead Strategies is affiliated with Fairlead Asset Management LLC, which receives compensation for providing sub-advisory services to investment funds, including TACK and BNAV.
These arrangements create financial interests and potential conflicts of interest when Fairlead Strategies publishes research, analysis, or commentary concerning these funds, their underlying holdings, related securities, or investment strategies.
FAM's compensation arrangements may create incentives associated with the continued operation or asset levels of affiliated investment products, depending on the applicable sub-advisory agreements.
Fairlead Strategies personnel, FAM personnel, owners, and other affiliates may hold positions in securities, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, or other financial instruments discussed in the Content or displayed through FTI.
Such positions may change without notice, subject to applicable personal trading policies, restrictions, and regulatory requirements.
Investment funds for which FAM serves as sub-adviser may hold, purchase, or sell securities or other exposures discussed in Fairlead Strategies research or displayed through FTI.
Investment decisions made for these funds may differ from the opinions, recommendations, or technical assessments presented in Fairlead Strategies research or FTI.
Fairlead Strategies may publish favorable or unfavorable research concerning securities, sectors, or investment products in which its personnel or affiliates have financial interests.
Certain personnel may perform functions for both FS and FAM, creating potential conflicts relating to the allocation of time, resources, research, and business opportunities.
Applicable personnel and affiliated entities are subject to policies and procedures intended to identify, manage, and address conflicts of interest, including applicable Code of Ethics, personal trading, supervisory, and compliance requirements. These procedures do not eliminate all potential conflicts.
FTI applies automated technical methodologies and does not independently evaluate or adjust its readings based on the investment holdings, trading activities, or financial interests of Fairlead Strategies, FAM, their personnel, or affiliated investment funds.
FTI does not analyze investment funds advised or sub-advised by Fairlead or its affiliates.
Additional information concerning material conflicts of interest is available in applicable regulatory filings, client agreements, and other required disclosures.
6. No Offer or Solicitation
Nothing in the Content constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase shares of any investment fund or other security.
References to individual securities, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, investment strategies, or other financial instruments are provided in connection with Fairlead Strategies' research, analytical, and advisory services.
Such references may include investment recommendations or actionable research within the scope of an applicable advisory relationship, except that FTI does not provide investment recommendations or transaction instructions.
FTI does not provide buy, sell, or hold ratings, price targets, investment recommendations, or instructions to enter or exit securities positions.
A Bullish, Neutral, or Bearish reading is a classification of technical conditions, not an investment rating or recommendation.
An Incoming Tide or Outgoing Tide signal identifies a potential technical turning point under the applicable methodology. Such signals do not constitute instructions or recommendations to purchase, sell, or otherwise transact in a security.
References to affiliated ETFs, including TACK and BNAV, do not constitute an offer to purchase shares of those funds.
Investors considering an ETF should carefully review its prospectus and other offering materials, including investment objectives, principal risks, charges, expenses, and other relevant information, before investing.
Investment decisions should be based on the investor's circumstances and a review of the applicable offering documents.
7. Investment and Market Risks
All investments involve risk, including the possible loss of principal.
Equity securities, ETFs, fixed-income securities, commodities, currencies, cryptocurrencies, derivatives, and other financial instruments involve different risks and may experience substantial price fluctuations.
Cryptocurrency-related investments may be particularly volatile and may involve additional risks relating to liquidity, market structure, regulation, custody, derivatives exposure, operational security, and other factors.
Technical analysis is based on historical market information and analytical methodologies. Technical indicators, chart patterns, support and resistance levels, momentum assessments, and other signals may fail to anticipate future market movements.
Market conditions may change rapidly, and securities may trade above or below identified technical levels without providing advance warning.
Investment strategies based on market timing, momentum, trend-following, relative strength, or other quantitative measures may underperform during certain market environments.
Concentrated investments, leveraged products, derivatives, and less liquid securities may involve additional risks.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
No investment strategy, technical analysis, forecast, recommendation, or analytical methodology can guarantee investment success, future returns, or protection against losses.
FTI's automated readings are not designed to measure investment suitability, assess the risk of an individual investor's portfolio, determine whether a security should be purchased or sold, or establish a price at which a transaction should occur.
Technical readings, Slack Tide signals, and key reference levels may change, fail to anticipate significant developments, or be inconsistent with subsequent market behavior.
Users should not rely exclusively on FTI outputs when making investment decisions.
8. Accuracy and Availability of Information
The Content may incorporate market data, pricing information, financial information, and other materials obtained from third-party sources believed to be reliable.
Fairlead Strategies does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or continued availability of such information.
Data errors, delays, omissions, technical interruptions, or differences among data providers may affect published research, market commentary, analytical outputs, and investment-related conclusions.
Certain information may be presented on a delayed basis and may not reflect current market conditions at the time it is accessed.
Historical market data may be adjusted, corrected, or revised after initial publication or analysis.
Fairlead Strategies may correct or revise information without notice but is not obligated to do so except as required by applicable law or contractual obligation.
Market Data Sources
Market data for U.S. equities and exchange-traded funds displayed through FTI is provided by Tiingo.com. Intraday pricing may reflect consolidated U.S. market data or transactions reported through the Investors Exchange (IEX), depending on data availability and applicable licensing arrangements.
Intraday prices may be delayed, incomplete, or limited to transactions reported through particular exchanges or market data sources. They are displayed for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as executable prices or quotations.
FTI's automated technical readings are calculated using completed daily market data. Intraday price movements do not continuously update the short-, intermediate-, or long-term technical readings, Slack Tide signals, or other model-generated technical assessments.
U.S. Treasury yield data is obtained from the U.S. Department of the Treasury and reflects published daily rates rather than continuously updated market quotations.
Fairlead Strategies does not independently verify or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of third-party market data. Data availability, corrections, delays, or differences among sources may affect displayed information and automated readings.
Market data provided by Tiingo.com.
9. Automated and Model-Based Analysis
Fairlead Strategies provides automated analytical tools, including Fairlead Technical Intelligence ("FTI"), that generate technical indicators, market classifications, momentum assessments, key reference levels, and other model-based technical observations.
These analytical tools rely on proprietary methodologies, historical market information, mathematical calculations, predefined parameters, assumptions, and third-party market data.
Automated analytical outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, inconsistent, or subject to revision.
Models may fail to identify significant market developments, changes in trend, emerging risks, or other relevant market conditions.
Purpose and Scope of Fairlead Technical Intelligence
FTI is an educational and informational technical analysis tool designed to apply a consistent, rules-based analytical framework to securities selected by subscribers.
FTI generates automated technical readings for the short, intermediate, and long term, together with supporting technical information.
Each reading is Bullish, Neutral, or Bearish. These readings describe the technical characteristics of a security under FTI's methodology.
They do not represent investment ratings, assessments of intrinsic value, estimates of expected returns, or recommendations to purchase, sell, or hold a security.
A Bullish reading does not mean that a security should be purchased, and a Bearish reading does not mean that a security should be sold. No technical reading indicates that a particular investment action is appropriate.
FTI does not establish price targets, expected returns, recommended entry or exit prices, position sizes, or investment time horizons.
Key reference levels, including moving averages, historical highs, and other technical measures, describe observed market characteristics. They are not price targets, recommended trading levels, or predictions that a security will reach or maintain a particular price.
Slack Tide Signals
Slack Tide is an automated technical indicator designed to identify potential changes in market direction based on predefined analytical conditions.
Incoming Tide and Outgoing Tide are names assigned to technical signal categories. These labels do not constitute buy or sell ratings, investment recommendations, or instructions to execute securities transactions.
A signal may be developing, confirmed, invalidated, broken, or expired under the applicable methodology. Confirmation indicates that specified technical conditions have been satisfied, not that a future price movement is certain or that an investment action is warranted.
Signals may fail to anticipate changes in market direction, may be invalidated, or may occur without a subsequent meaningful change in trend.
Slack Tide does not assess investment suitability, valuation, expected profitability, or the appropriateness of any transaction.
Automated Technical Summaries and Analyst Review
FTI's technical summaries, timeframe readings, Slack Tide signals, and related observations are generated automatically.
These outputs are not individually prepared, reviewed, approved, or endorsed by Fairlead Strategies' analysts before being displayed to subscribers.
FTI outputs should not be attributed to the personal judgment, recommendations, or opinions of Katie Stockton or other Fairlead Strategies research personnel.
Automated summaries may contain errors, omissions, inconsistencies, or descriptions that do not fully reflect prevailing market conditions.
Users should not interpret automated outputs as independently verified analyst research.
Relationship Between Automated Analysis and Published Research
Automated analytical outputs may differ from or conflict with Fairlead Strategies' published research, investment recommendations, market commentary, or opinions expressed by its personnel.
Such differences may result from variations in analytical methodology, market data, model assumptions, timeframes, professional judgment, or the timing of publication.
FTI outputs do not supersede, amend, or replace Fairlead Strategies' published research or investment recommendations unless expressly stated otherwise.
FTI does not provide individualized investment advice and does not consider a subscriber's financial circumstances, investment objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, or other suitability considerations.
Historical Technical Observations and Model Limitations
FTI may display historical timeframe readings, Slack Tide signals, and other historical technical observations to illustrate how its analytical methodology classified market conditions at different points in time.
These historical observations are not representations of actual or hypothetical investment performance.
FTI does not calculate, display, or represent investment returns, historical trading performance, backtested strategy results, hypothetical investment results, or the profitability of investment strategies.
Historical technical observations should not be interpreted as evidence of investment profitability, predictive accuracy, or expected future returns.
Historical market relationships may change, and technical conditions observed in prior periods may not recur or produce similar subsequent market behavior.
Fairlead Strategies may modify its models, methodologies, analytical parameters, features, and data sources, subject to applicable contractual and regulatory obligations.
Alerts and Notifications
FTI may provide automated alerts or notifications concerning changes in timeframe readings, Slack Tide signals, or other technical conditions.
Alerts are generated based on completed market data and applicable processing schedules. They may be delayed, missed, interrupted, or unavailable due to data availability, system conditions, delivery failures, or other operational limitations.
Alerts are informational notifications of technical observations, not investment recommendations or instructions to execute transactions.
Subscribers should not rely on alerts for time-sensitive trading decisions or assume that all changes in technical conditions will be identified or communicated.
10. Third-Party Content and Links
The Content may include information, references, or links to third-party publications, data providers, websites, and other external resources.
The inclusion of third-party information does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of the source or its opinions, products, or services.
Fairlead Strategies is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, availability, security, or privacy practices of independently operated third-party websites or services.
Third-party content may be subject to separate licensing restrictions, usage terms, and intellectual property protections.
11. Subscriber Communications and Research Inquiries
Subscribers may direct questions concerning Fairlead Strategies research, publications, or subscription services to info@fairleadstrategies.com.
Responses may include general market commentary, clarification of technical methodologies, discussion of published research, investment-related opinions, or, where included in the applicable subscription or advisory arrangement, individualized technical analysis and recommendations concerning securities, watchlists, or portfolio holdings identified by subscribers.
The nature and scope of any advisory relationship with Fairlead Strategies are determined by the services provided, applicable agreements, and governing law.
Subscriber communications do not authorize Fairlead Strategies to exercise investment discretion, execute securities transactions, or take custody of client assets.
Communications with Fairlead Strategies do not, by themselves, establish an investment advisory relationship with Fairlead Asset Management LLC.
FTI's automated outputs are distinct from any individualized research consulting or advisory services that Fairlead Strategies may provide under separate arrangements.

Nothing in these disclosures is intended to waive or limit any rights, remedies, fiduciary duties, or liabilities that cannot lawfully be waived or limited under applicable federal or state securities laws or other applicable law.
