Merriman Wealth Management, LLC (“Merriman”) is a investment adviser located in Seattle, Washington. Download and read PDFs: ADV Part 2A here, ADV Part 2B here, and the firm’s Form CRS here.

Merriman is an SEC registered investment adviser. SEC registration does not constitute an endorsement of the firm by the Commission nor does it indicate that the adviser has attained a particular level of skill or ability. Merriman may only transact business in those states in which it is registered, or qualifies for an exemption or exclusion from registration requirements. Merriman’s website (referred to herein as the “Website”) is limited to the dissemination of general information pertaining to its advisory services, together with access to additional investment-related information, publications, and links. Accordingly, the publication of the Website on the Internet should not be construed by any client and/or prospective client as Merriman’s solicitation to effect, or attempt to effect transactions in securities, or the rendering of personalized investment advice for compensation, over the Internet. Any subsequent, direct communication by Merriman with a prospective client will be conducted by a representative that is either registered or qualifies for an exemption or exclusion from registration in the state where the prospective client resides.

A copy of Merriman’s current written disclosure statement discussing Merriman’s business operations, services, and fees is available from Merriman upon written request. Merriman does not make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy, timeliness, suitability, completeness, or relevance of any information prepared by any unaffiliated third party, whether linked to Merriman’s Web site or incorporated herein, and takes no responsibility thereto. All such information is provided solely for convenience purposes only and all users thereof should be guided accordingly.

Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, no current or prospective client should assume that future performance of any specific investment, investment strategy (including the investments and/or investment strategies recommended or undertaken by Merriman) or product made reference to directly or indirectly by Merriman on its Web site, or indirectly via a link to an unaffiliated third party Web site, will be profitable or equal the corresponding indicated performance level(s). Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific investment will either be suitable or profitable for a client or prospective client’s investment portfolio. Historical performance results for investment indices and/or categories generally do not reflect the deduction of transaction and/or custodial charges, the deduction of an investment management fee, nor the impact of taxes, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing historical performance results.

Merriman does not make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy, timeliness, suitability, completeness, or relevance of any information prepared by any unaffiliated third party, whether linked to the Website or incorporated herein, and takes no responsibility therefor. All such information is provided solely for convenience purposes only and all users thereof should be guided accordingly.

Certain portions of the Website (i.e. newsletters, articles, commentaries, etc.) may contain a discussion of, and/or provide access to, Merriman’s (and those of other investment and non-investment professionals) positions and/or opinions as of a specific prior date. Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, such discussion may no longer be reflective of current positions and/or opinions. Moreover, no client or prospective client should assume that any such discussion serves as the receipt of, or a substitute for, personalized advice from Merriman, or from any other investment professional. In addition, to the extent that any client or prospective client utilizes any economic calculator or similar device contained within or linked to Merriman’s Web site, the client and/or prospective client acknowledges and understands that the information resulting from the use of any such calculator/device, is not, and should not be construed, in any manner whatsoever, as the receipt of, or a substitute for, personalized individual advice from Merriman, or from any other investment professional. Merriman is neither an attorney nor an accountant, and no portion of the Website content should be interpreted as legal, accounting or tax advice.

Each client and prospective client agrees, as a condition precedent to his/her/its access to the Website, to release and hold harmless Merriman, its officers, directors, owners, employees and agents from any and all adverse consequences resulting from any of his/her/its actions and/or omissions which are independent of his/her/its receipt of personalized individual advice from Merriman.
