No, your investments are not insured.
Please note that Equity Bank and its subsidiaries offer investment products which are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). These investment products are not deposits or other obligations of, nor are they guaranteed by Equity Bank or any of its subsidiaries, and may go down in value.
Investments in these products are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. The value of these investment products can fluctuate, and investors may realize losses on these investments, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. It’s important to carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite before deciding to invest in these products. We recommend seeking advice from a qualified financial advisor to ensure that you understand the risks involved.

Advisory services offered through Marstone LLC. Marstone LLC is an SEC registered investment adviser. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training.
Your trades are executed by Pershing, LLC, a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). That means your assets are protected up to $500,000 in value, including $100,000 in any cash awaiting reinvestment, if Pershing, LLC were to fail as a broker-dealer. SIPC does not protect against investment losses. All securities involve risk and may result in loss.
Marstone, LLC (“Adviser”) has entered into a solicitor’s agreement (the “Agreement”) with Equity Bank (“Solicitor”) whereby Adviser will pay cash compensation to Solicitor for introducing prospective investors who engage Adviser to provide investment services managed, directly or indirectly, by Adviser or its affiliates. Solicitor is not an investment advisory client of Adviser nor an investor in any of Adviser’s investment products. Solicitor has a material conflict of interest in introducing prospective investors to Adviser because the compensation paid by Adviser to Solicitor under the Agreement incentivizes Solicitor to recommend that prospective investors invest with Adviser.
Solicitation Fees. Adviser and Solicitor have entered this Agreement which allows Adviser to offer investment advisory and financial planning services to Bank clients. In return, Adviser pays the Bank a referral fee (the “Referral Fee”). The Referral Fee will be twenty-five percent (25%) of the fee owed to the Adviser under its client agreement once the assets under management on the Adviser’s Platform received from Solicitor reaches $5,000,000. The fee will continue to be paid to the Solicitor as long as the Bank client is a client of the Adviser. This fee will be owed regardless of charge backs or claims of refund unrelated to Solicitor error or willful negligence.
No cost will be added to the advisory fees that you will pay for Adviser’s services as a result of the fees paid to the Bank, and the client fee is the same as those charged to other clients of Adviser for similar services as further described in the Adviser’s Form ADV Part 2A brochure. Adviser and Bank are separate and distinct companies.
*In addition to the fees charged by Marstone, each exchange traded fund (“ETF”) company in which a client’s funds may be invested, charges fees paid by the investors that are deducted from the ETF’s assets. Please refer to our Form ADV 2A and Wrap Fee Brochure for further information regarding fees.
