TRADE MATCHING AND SETTLEMENT
This Trade Matching Statement is provided in accordance with Canadian NI 24-101 Institutional Trade Matching and its companion policy

Jacob Securities Inc. confirms it has established, maintains and enforces policies and procedures in compliance with trade matching
requirements as per NI 24-101.
REFERRAL FEES
Jacob Securities may enter into referral arrangements from time to time, under the following circumstances:
- » To provide enhanced service to the clients of Jacob Securities, where no fee revenue is shared between the referred party and Jacob Securities.
- » To provide enhanced service to clients of Jacob Securities, where there is a financial agreement between Jacob Securities and the referred party to provide this enhanced service, or to provide services more optimally delivered to the client with the assistance of the referred party.
Because a shared remuneration relationship can be deemed an incentive for the two parties to make mutual referrals, Jacob Securities’ policy is to ensure there is an added client benefit in all referral relationships a client may enjoy. Where there is shared remuneration, the nature of the arrangement will be disclosed prior to the client’s involvement.

ALIGNING OUR GOALS WITH YOURS:
JACOB SECURITES CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT.
No subsidiary companies
Jacob Securities deals with clients solely thought the entity of Jacob Securities Inc. We do not have subsidiary companies offering investment products or other financial services to our clients.
Sale to clients of Securities that Jacob Securities has underwritten.
Jacob Securities has an institutional client base that may be purchasers of securities that Jacob Securities has brought to market by underwriting activities. Such clients are capable of independent judgement in their investment decision-making due to their institutional status.
Jacob Securities may offer its private wealth clients a new issue that we have brought to market, and where Jacob Securities has earned a fee for this capital markets activity. To address potential conflicts of interest:
Professional and impartial research
Our research coverage conforms to professional regulatory standards, and presents those disclosures required to enable a reader to reasonably assess the methodology and potential biases that might be deemed present in the report. Our analysts attest annually to CFA codes of ethics, and attest that no considerations were advanced by companies covered in the course of research on these companies. Jacob Securities research analysts are not permitted to own securities in the companies they cover.
No use of proprietary investment products
Jacob Securities does currently operate proprietary funds, or other manufactured investment products. If, in the future, we do create such products, full conflict of interest disclosure will be made to a prospective client prior to sale.
Disclosure of transaction costs, trailer fees and other charges.
Remuneration occurs as a disclosed commission and trade charge on transactions, or as a stated fee arrangement for a fee-based or managed account.
If a third party manager is engaged, those fees will be fully disclosed to the client, and will be included in the overall fee charged to the account.
Jacob Securities makes moderate use of managed investment funds, which usually have a “trailer fee” attached to them. These funds may have a variety of commission types attached – commonly known as “front load” or “rear load”. Trailer fees, and commission types for all funds are publically posted by the Mutual Fund companies as Fund Fact Sheets. Jacob Securities will disclose fully commission structures and trailer fees at the time of sale of a mutual fund. Jacob Securities has a compliance program in effect to ensure that investment decisions are not being suggested on the basis of front or real commissions, or on levels of trailer fee.
Jacob Securities, as an IIROC Member Firm, will be fully compliant with the Client Relationship Model as it is implemented throughout the Canadian investment industry. Full disclosure of fees and charges is mandated by this regulatory initiative, as is the phase-in of performance reporting of portfolios, demonstrated against relevant performance benchmarks.
