USA PATRIOT Act

Customer Identification Program

In accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act signed October 26, 2001, AVM, L.P. ("AVM") is required to obtain a copy of the documents used in identifying our new account customers and in identifying signatory individuals added to existing or new accounts as part of its Customer Identification Program.  In some cases, identification will be requested for those individuals conducting business with AVM prior to the effective date of the customer identification requirements because original documentation was not obtained with the opening of the account, or AVM is unable to form a reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of the existing customer.  

As such, AVM will collect all or some of the following information about its customers, which applies to any person, entity, or organization that is opening a new account and whose name is on the account, to include associated persons. 

• Name(s) of the person(s) opening the account; for businesses, the business name as well as the name of principal director or partner who is responsible for the account and authorized account signatories.
• Address (must be a physical address) – Post Office (PO) Boxes are prohibited, except that military personnel may provide an Army Post Office (APO) or Fleet Post Office (FPO) Box number.  For a person other than an individual (such as a corporation or partnership):  A principal place of business, local office, or other physical location.
• Date of birth – Individual.
• Identification number – For a U.S. individual or entity, must be a Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”).   For a non-U.S. individual or entity, must be a TIN or suitable foreign identification number, such as a passport number, or other government issued ID number.

In all cases, protection of our customers’ identity and confidentiality is our pledge to you.
