The terms and conditions of use set forth below apply to this website located at www.nisi.net (the “Site”) are effective as of September 14, 2022. By using the Site, you acknowledge that you read, understood and agreed to these terms and conditions of use. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions of use, we do not authorize you to access or use the Site. National Investment Services and its affiliates (“NIS,” “us,” “our,” or “we”) reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of these terms and conditions at any time and for any reason.

Not an Offer or Solicitation of an Offer
This Site is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a complete description of our investment services or products. This Site is limited to the dissemination of general information about the services provided by NIS. This Site and the information contained herein do not constitute and should not be construed as an offering of advisory services or an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, financial instruments, or investment funds sponsored or managed by NIS in any jurisdiction. Any such offer or solicitation can and will be made only in jurisdictions in which such an offer is lawful and only to persons who meet the requisite suitability and sophistication requirements.
This information is not intended to be used as the primary basis of investment decisions and because of specific client or investor objectives, it should not be construed as advice designed to meet the particular investment needs of any client or investor. An investment in an investment fund sponsored or managed by NIS will be suitable only for certain sophisticated investors who do not need immediate liquidity in their investment. Nothing contained on this Site constitutes investment, legal, tax or other advice, nor is to be relied on in making an investment or other decision.
Investment Risk; Statistics and Data
NIS makes no representation, and it should not be assumed, that past investment performance is an indication of future results. Moreover, wherever there is a potential for profit, there is also the possibility of loss. Certain of NIS’s strategies involve investments that are illiquid, are subject to a substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for many clients or investors.
The financial and statistical data contained on this Site is estimated, unaudited, based on certain assumptions, and is subject to change without notice. During a portion or all of the periods for which statistics are referenced on this Site, the U.S. markets generally experienced a prolonged bull market, and clients and potential clients should consider the potential impact of this when assessing any statistical information.
