Bunker may also be publicly discussed on independent third‐party social media websites and Bunker may share links to this content on its social media pages.

About Bunker’s Posts
Please note, Bunker posts published on any social media platform is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any Bunker investment product to any person in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation, purchase, or sale would be unlawful under the laws of such jurisdiction. Bunker’s posts should not be considered an offering of any security, which can only be made by a prospectus. Additionally, all Bunker posts published on any social media platform are for informational purposes only and should not be considered as investment advice or a recommendation to invest in any particular security, strategy or investment product. Bunker’s posts on social media may include statements concerning financial market trends, and are based on current market conditions, which will fluctuate and may be superseded by subsequent market events or for other reasons. Historic market trends are not reliable indicators of actual future market behavior or future performance of any particular investment, which may differ materially and should not be relied upon as such. The investment strategy and broad themes discussed therein may be unsuitable for investors depending on the investors’ specific investment objectives and financial situation. Information contained in Bunker’s posts has been obtained from sources believed by Bunker to be reliable, but such sources are not guaranteed to be accurate or useful. Information contained in Bunker’s posts may be incomplete and subject to change. In addition, information regarding these matters may include Bunker’s own views and beliefs, which are matters of opinion and should not be read as facts. You should note that the materials on the social media platforms are provided "as is" without any express or implied warranties. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. All investments involve a degree of risk, including the risk of loss. No part of Bunker’s posts may be reproduced in any form, or referred to in any other publication, without express written permission from Bunker.
Hypothetical model performance
Bunker posts may include hypothetical model performance which is based on simulated or hypothetical trades made by Bunker for the referenced hypothetical models containing the type of investments Bunker generally expects to process for customer accounts (although there may be potentially significant differences which would affect actual performance). The assets which formed the basis for the hypothetical performance were invested in a style currently expected to be similar to the portfolios that will utilize Bunker’s strategy; therefore, are believed to be relevant to prospective clients. Bunker model results are presented net of Bunker’s Fee(s) and covers a time period referenced in the materials. All hypothetical model results are estimated, unaudited, subject to adjustment, and not intended to comply with AIMR-PPS™ or GIPS guidelines. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are prepared with the benefit of hindsight. Furthermore, hypothetical model results contain limitations and do not necessarily reflect the impact, if any, that certain market or economic factors might have had on Bunker’s decision making if Bunker were actually managing a client’s money. No hypothetical model performance is a guarantee of future results, and no representation is made that any assets or account managed by Bunker will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown or described in Bunker’s publications. Bear in mind that if hypothetical model performance results were for the funds or a client’s actual portfolio, other applicable expenses (including electronic funds fees, taxes, etc.) would materially decrease such returns.

Certain social media sites may allow Bunker to include a list of contacts or “friends” with which Bunker or its personnel may be professionally or otherwise connected. Such a list of contacts and friends would be presented in the ordinary course and would not be organized so as to identify current or past clients or to create any inference that the friends and contacts experienced favorable results from Bunker’s investment advisory services.
