Certain portions of Carret’s web site (i.e. newsletters, articles, commentaries, etc.) may contain a discussion of, and/or provide access to, Carret (and those of other investment and non-investment professionals) positions and/or recommendations as of a specific prior date. Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, such discussion may no longer be reflective of current position(s) and/or recommendation(s). Moreover, no client or prospective client should assume that any such discussion serves as the receipt of, or a substitute for, personalized advice from Carret, or from any other investment professional. Carret is neither an attorney nor an accountant, and no portion of the web site content should be interpreted as legal, accounting or tax advice.

Furthermore, any such recognition or ranking should not be construed as an endorsement by any of Carret’s clients. As such, clients and prospective clients should not put undue reliance on any of these statements.
Neither rankings and/or recognition by unaffiliated rating services, publications, or other organizations, nor the achievement of any designation or certification, should be construed by a client or prospective client as a guarantee that he/she will experience a certain level of results if Carret is engaged, or continues to be engaged, to provide investment advisory services.
