Social Media Disclosures and Terms of Use
NAM has different internal policies relative to social media, based on whether the social media page or site is that of the firm (“Company Page”) or that of one of the firm’s employees. Please note that NAM does not allow third-party comments on its Company Pages and will use its best efforts to delete any comments from its Company Page within a timely manner.
However, NAM does allow certain employees to use social media for business-related purposes, and NAM does allow commentary on those employees’ social media pages. The following guidelines apply to comments on employees’ social media pages:
Please do not post on social media any matter that would be more appropriately discussed with NAM or a NAM employee.
Please do not post any customer service related questions on social media – instead, please contact NAM directly.
We take your confidential information seriously. Please do not post any of your personal or private information on social media, including information regarding your accounts.
Please do not discuss your experience as an investor with NAM or any NAM employee on NAM’s social media pages.
NAM does not provide any investment advice or recommendations about specific stocks or funds on social media. We ask that you don’t, either.
Please do not post any comments that may be offensive, inappropriate, harassing, or defamatory to others – NAM reserves the right to delete or block third-party content deemed offensive, inappropriate, illegal, harassing, or defamatory.
Please do not post any non-public information on social media.
Please do not post advertisements, endorsements, or recommendations for the services of another person or firm on this page.
NAM reserves the right to delete any comments in violation of its Social Media Terms of Use.
Posts by Others (Third-Party Posts)
NAM cannot control third-party posts on its social media platforms. NAM will endeavor to delete third-party posts which violate the Social Media Terms of Use or internal social media policies, to the extent the social media platforms allow NAM to do so. Please note that third-party posts do not reflect NAM’s views and have not been reviewed, approved or endorsed by NAM.
NAM reserves the right to delete or block any third-party content deemed illegal, inappropriate, or offensive.
Opinions and comments expressed by friends or followers are those of the persons submitting them and do not represent the views of NAM or its management.
NAM is not responsible for and does not endorse any content, advertising, advice, opinions, recommendations or other information from third parties, including the social media site.
NAM does not endorse or approve content submitted by third parties, or endorse individuals or organizations, by using features on social media sites.
NAM will use its best efforts to timely block and/or delete any third-party posts added by third parties onto its Company social media site, including any comments that are testimonials, advice, recommendations, and/or advertisements for specific products or services.
NAM reserves the right to block and/or delete any third-party posts on its employees’ social media sites that are deemed advice, recommendations and/or advertisements for specific products or services.
NAM has determined that any third-party “response” to NAM social media postings that result in the postings being displayed in forums, websites, or landing pages other than those sponsored by NAM (including, but not limited to, re-posting or re-tweeting NAM’s posts and any third-party commentary included with such re-posting or re-tweeting) are independent third-party postings and are the responsibility of such third parties. As such, NAM is not responsible for reviewing such responses or taking any action in response thereto.
NAM reserves the right to discontinue at any time its policy of allowing third parties to comment on its employees’ social media pages. NAM will update these Terms in accordance with any change in its policy.
