In this day and age of digital communications where advisers distribute performance information, client newsletters and other sensitive communications via email, it is a best practice (and smart business move) for advisers to require all personnel to utilize a standard disclaimer underneath their email signature.   After the jump, you will find a sample of a recommended disclaimer.

THIS EMAIL IS CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVILEGED. IF YOU ARE NOT THE INTENDED RECIPIENT, PLEASE NOTIFY THE SENDER IMMEDIATELY.  YOU SHOULD NOT COPY OR DISCLOSE THE CONTENTS OF THIS EMAIL TO ANY OTHER PERSON. It also should be noted that Internet communications are not secure and subject to possible data corruption, either accidentally or on purpose, and may contain viruses. Please note that the contents of this email should not be construed as investment advice unless explicitly state as such in the text of this email. Further, it should be noted that this email should not be construed as the solicitation of an offer to purchase or an offer to sell an interest in any private investment fund.  Finally, please note that to the extent performance information is contained in this email, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future returns.
