Investment Disclosures

Customer Relationship Summary

The Customer Relationship Summary (Form CRS) is designed to help retail customers select or determine whether to remain with a firm or financial professional by providing transparent, summarized information in one place about a particular broker-dealer or investment adviser.

Form CRS documents

You can request a copy of the Form CRS documents at any time from AIC, AAS, or your financial professional.

The SEC requires Ameritas Investment Company, LLC (AIC), Ameritas Advisory Services, LLC (AAS) and its financial professionals to provide a Form CRS to retail customers in a variety of scenarios. The Form CRS relationship summaries for AIC and AAS provide succinct information about the relationships and services AIC and/or AAS offers to retail customers, fees and costs that retail customers will pay, specified conflicts of interest and standards of conduct and disciplinary history, among other things.

Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (AIP), an affiliate of AIC, also offers managed account programs and investment advisory services to retail customers in conjunction with AIC and AAS, including sub-advisory services for the Constellation Wrap Fee Program.
