In November of 1999, Congress enacted the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). The GLBA requires certain financial institutions, such as investment advisor firms, to protect the privacy of customer information. In situations where a financial institution does disclose customer information to nonaffiliated third parties, other than permitted or required by law, customers must be given the opportunity to opt out or prevent such disclosure. Oaktree Wealth Group, LLC (“Oaktree Wealth Group”) does not share or disclose customer information to nonaffiliated third parties except as permitted or required by law.
Oaktree Wealth Group is committed to safeguarding the confidential information of its clients. Oaktree Wealth Group holds all personal information provided by clients in the strictest confidence and it is the objective of Oaktree Wealth Group to protect the privacy of all clients. Except as permitted or required by law, Oaktree Wealth Group does not share confidential information about clients with nonaffiliated parties. In the event that there were to be a change in this policy, Oaktree Wealth Group will provide clients with written notice and clients will be provided an opportunity to direct Oaktree Wealth Group as to whether such disclosure is permissible.

-

-
