Advisory services are offered through Atomic Invest LLC, an SEC-registered investment advisor. Brokerage services for Atomic Invest are provided by Pershing Advisor Solutions LLC, a FINRA registered broker-dealer and member of SIPC.

"Treasury" accounts are investment accounts managed by Atomic Invest and held by Pershing LLC, the qualified custodian and clearing firm for Atomic Invest.   

For investment accounts managed by Atomic Invest LLC (“Treasury” accounts): 
Arc has an engagement with Atomic Invest, LLC (“Atomic Invest”), an SEC-registered investment adviser, to bring you the opportunity to open an investment advisory account. Investment advisory services are provided by Atomic Invest. Companies which are engaged by Atomic Invest receive compensation of 0% to 0.85% annualized, payable monthly, based upon assets under management for each referred client who establishes an account with Atomic Invest (i.e., exact payment will differ). Atomic Invest also shares a percentage of compensation received from margin interest and free cash interest earned by customers with Arc. Arc is not a client of Atomic Invest, but our engagement with Atomic Invest gives us an incentive to refer you to Atomic Invest instead of another investment adviser. This conflict of interest affects our ability to provide you with unbiased, objective information about the services of Atomic Invest. This could mean that the services of another investment adviser with whom we are not engaged could be more appropriate for you than Atomic invest. Neither Atomic Invest nor any of its affiliates is a bank. Investments in securities are Not FDIC insured, Not Bank Guaranteed, and May Lose Value. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.

Before investing, consider your investment objectives and the fees and expenses charged by Atomic Invest. Advisory services through Atomic Invest are designed to assist clients in achieving a favorable outcome in their investment portfolio. They are not intended to provide tax advice or financial planning with respect to every aspect of a client’s financial situation and do not include investments that clients may hold outside of Atomic Invest. For more details about Atomic Invest, please see the Form CRSForm ADV Part 2A, the Privacy Policy, and other disclosures. Brokerage services for Atomic Invest are provided by Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC (“PAS”), a FINRA registered broker-dealer and member of SIPC. Custodial and clearing services are provided to Atomic Invest by Pershing LLC.

Atomic Invest, through a clearing relationship with Pershing LLC (“Pershing”) offers a cash sweep program. Funds in transit to or from Program Banks are generally not FDIC-insured. The Sweep Program is administered by Pershing, LLC. Deposits at each Program Bank are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 for each insurable capacity. Based on eligibility criteria, the two FDIC-insured programs (“Bank Deposit Programs”) offered are 1) Dreyfus Insured Deposits (DIDI) and 2) Liquid Insured Deposits. Funds deposited into each sweep program, in aggregate, are eligible for up to $2,500,000 of FDIC insurance. The sweep programs can be configured so that once the funds reach one or more Program Banks (up to $250,000 for each insurable capacity at up to ten Program Banks), then the next Bank Deposit Program will be initiated. Although certain types of accounts, such as trust accounts may be eligible for additional FDIC insurance based on the number of beneficiaries, funds will be allocated to each Program Bank in such a way that provides up to $250,000 of FDIC insurance for individual accounts and $250,000 of FDIC insurance for trust and other corporate account types, in each case per Program Bank. If clients elect to exclude one or more Program Banks from receiving deposits, the amount of FDIC insurance available through the Atomic Invest account may be lower. Clients are responsible for monitoring their total assets at each Program Bank, including existing deposits held at Program Banks outside of the Atomic Invest account, to ensure FDIC insurance limits are not exceeded, which could result in some funds being uninsured. For more information on FDIC insurance please visit http://www.fdic.gov/. Deposits held in Program Banks are not protected by SIPC. For more information see Pershing’s Terms and Conditions and the Atomic Invest Form ADV Part 2A.

For financial accounts provided by Stripe (“Business,” “Wallet,” and “Reserve” accounts): 
Stripe Treasury accounts are eligible for FDIC pass-through deposit insurance if they meet certain requirements. The accounts are eligible only to the extent pass-through insurance is permitted by the rules and regulations of the FDIC, and if the requirements for pass-through insurance are satisfied. The FDIC insurance applies up to 250,000 USD per depositor, per financial institution, for deposits held in the same type of account. Neither Stripe nor Arc is an FDIC-insured institution. The FDIC’s deposit insurance coverage only protects against the failure of an FDIC-insured depository institution. 

Yield paid by Arc related to cash balances held in Stripe accounts is subject to change over time without notice based on prevailing market conditions. Today's yield rates reflect the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) paid by Arc to customers, where payments are completed on a monthly basis according to daily cash balances held over the prior calendar month.

² Reflects yield net of fees on fixed income investments within the Treasury account (e.g., Treasury Bills and Money Market Funds) for companies on Arc's Premium plan (unless otherwise noted) based on market rates as of the most recent business day. See Investment Options page for breakdown of investment options, gross market yields, and associated pricing on Treasury account.

Treasury Bill ("T-Bill") yield is an annualized T-Bill rate when held to maturity. The rate shown is subject to price fluctuation and is net of fees. T-Bills are purchased at a discount to par (par= $1,000), with the price being subject to market fluctuation. The amount of T-Bills available at a particular yield will depend upon the sellers’ offer size; any remaining cash balance after the purchase may not earn the same yield. In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. Fixed income securities are subject to increased loss of principal during periods of rising interest rates. Fixed income securities also carry other risks, including inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties.

The SEC yield for a money market fund is calculated by annualizing its daily income distributions for the previous 7 days. You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of a money market fund carefully before investing. This and other information is found in the fund’s prospectus. Please read the prospectus before investing. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. Yields fluctuate and past performance is no guarantee of future results.
