Concerning Fiduciary Responsibility:
SumGrowth, Inc. is not a registered investment advisor and does not provide professional financial investment advice specific to your financial and life situation. SectorSurfer is strictly an automated algorithmic strategy analysis tool that produces Strategy trade signals according to the set of funds you provide for its analysis. We do, however, provide support specific to the operation of SectorSurfer so you can better create or modify Strategies to meet your objectives. Seek the advice of a registered investment advisor if you are unsure of the suitability of using SectorSurfer to help you achieve your personal investment objectives.

By using SectorSurfer you represent that; (1) you take "fiduciary" responsibility for your investments within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) 29 CFR 2510.3-21, (2) you are capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to particular transactions and investment strategies, and (3) you understand that in selecting particular asset allocations or the adequacy of an estimated income stream suitable for your personal situation, you must additionally consider your other assets, income, and investments.
