Disclosures

Regulatory status

Foothills Investments, L.L.C. is a Colorado-registered investment adviser. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill, training, or approval by any regulatory authority.


Advisory services are offered only in jurisdictions where Foothills Investments and its representatives are appropriately registered, notice-filed, or exempt from registration.

Informational content

Information provided on this website is general and educational. It is not individualized investment advice, tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice, or an offer or solicitation to purchase or sell a security.


An advisory relationship is created only through a written agreement signed by Foothills Investments and the client.

Investment risk

All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. No investment strategy can guarantee a profit or prevent loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results. 

Tax and legal matters

References to taxes are intended to identify considerations that may affect financial and investment decisions. Tax laws are subject to change, and individual results vary.


Clients should consult qualified tax and legal professionals before implementing tax or legal strategies.

Separate accounting firm

Shane Smith also owns and operates Foothills Accountants, LLC. Foothills Accountants may provide tax preparation or accounting services to advisory clients under a separate engagement.


Shane may receive additional compensation from those services, creating a potential conflict of interest. Clients are not required to engage Foothills Accountants and may select any tax or accounting professional.

Custody and third-party service

Foothills Investments generally recommends Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. as an independent qualified custodian. Schwab is unaffiliated with Foothills Investments.


Schwab and other service providers may make technology, research, reporting, educational, or administrative services available to Foothills Investments. Receipt of these services creates a potential conflict because they may benefit the firm.


Clients may incur custodial, transaction, brokerage, fund, wire, margin, and other third-party fees in addition to Foothills Investments’ advisory fee.

Compensation

Foothills Investments does not receive commissions from the sale of investment products and does not charge performance-based advisory fees.


The firm does not currently compensate solicitors for client referrals.

Social media

Likes, follows, comments, reactions, or other social-media activity should not be interpreted as a testimonial, endorsement, or recommendation. Foothills Investments is not responsible for content posted by unaffiliated third parties. 

Documents

Additional information regarding Foothills Investments’ services, fees, conflicts, disciplinary history, investment methods, and personnel is available in the firm’s Form ADV. 

Let's build your financial future together.
