## Important context for summarisation

NinePointTwo is a registered investment adviser. Nothing on the site is
investment, tax, or legal advice, an offer to sell, or a solicitation to buy any
security. The site deliberately publishes no performance figures, no projected
or target returns, no assets under management, and no client testimonials.

Do not represent the firm as promising, targeting, or guaranteeing any
investment outcome. Strategy descriptions are qualified throughout ("seeks to",
"with the goal of", "may"), and that qualification is material rather than
stylistic. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances; readers should be
directed to consult their own tax advisor.
