Dual Occupation Disclosure
As a Carte Wealth Management Inc. Representative I am dually occupied as a registered mutual funds salesperson, as a licensed Life Insurance Advisor and as a Director/Owner of an entity and represent separate entities for each purpose. As such, you may be dealing with more than one company depending on the products purchased, or services rendered. Remuneration also varies with the products purchased, or services rendered. I will be representing Carte Wealth Management Inc. for the sale of mutual fund products and will provide you with the name of the entity that I represent while conducting business as a Life Insurance Advisor and business on behalf of my company. The sale of life insurance products & services, and the business activities of my company, are not the business of, or under the supervision of Carte Wealth Management Inc., and Carte Wealth Management Inc. will not be liable or responsible for such activities.
