Our commitment to you
As a Phillip Mutual investor, you've entrusted to our care not only your hard-earned money but your personal and financial data as well. We recognize that your relationship with us is based on trust and that you expect us to act responsibly and in your best interests. Because your personal and financial data is your personal information, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in its safekeeping and use.

This means, most importantly, that we do not sell client information-whether it is your personal information or the fact that you are a Phillip Mutual client-to anyone.

Instead, your information is used by us primarily to complete transactions that you request or to make you aware of other financial products and services that we offer or sponsor.

Your Consent

Our security procedures to protect your information
The security of your personal and financial information (if any) is our upmost priority. Keeping your personal and financial information secure is one of our most important responsibilities. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect customer information that meet applicable law.

Our employees are bound by a code of ethics that requires confidential treatment of customer information. You can read our Security & Legal Policy for further details.

(If you enter information in an online application, we may store the information even if you don't complete or submit the application.). You also provide personal information when you request a transaction that involves Phillip Mutual or one of the Phillip Mutual-affiliated companies.

In addition to personal information you provide to us, we may receive information about you that you authorize third parties to provide to us.

How we handle your personal information
We do not sell information about current or former clients or their accounts to third parties. Nor do we share such information, except when needed to complete transactions at your request or to make you aware of related financial products and services that we offer. Here are the details:
  • In order to complete certain transactions or account changes that you direct, it may be necessary to provide identifying information to companies, individuals, or groups that are not affiliated with Phillip Mutual. For example, if you ask to transfer assets from another financial institution to Phillip Mutual, we will need to provide certain information about you to that company to complete the transaction.
  • In order to alert you to other financial products and services that Phillip Mutual offers or sponsors, we may share your information within the Phillip Mutual family of affiliated companies. This would include, for example, sharing your information within Phillip Mutual to make you aware of new Phillip Mutual funds or other investment offerings, or the brokerage services offered through Phillip Mutual 's brokerage companies, or the asset management and trust services offered through Phillip Mutual 's trust companies and registered investment advisors.
  • In certain instances, we may contract with non-affiliated companies to perform services for us. Where necessary, we will disclose information we have about you to these third parties. In all such cases, we provide the third party with only the information necessary to carry out its assigned responsibilities and only for that purpose. And, we require these third parties to treat your private information with the same high degree of confidentiality that we do.
  • Finally, we will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are compelled by law to do so, or in other legally limited circumstances (for example, to prevent fraud).
