    Blaylock Robert Van, LLC, an investment banker/broker dealer announces that it has adopted the following: Blaylock Robert Van (BRV) does not, nor has it ever, maintained a link between the compensation for analysts and investment banking. BRV does not, nor has it ever, allowed investment banking input into analysts' compensation. BRV conducts research through a quantitative model for assessing the relative attractiveness of equity securities and their optimal weights for inclusion in portfolios. The company does not produce traditional fundamental research recommendations. There exists within the firm a review committee that has approved the research methodology. BRV reviews, and monitors, daily quantitative assessments generated by the model. BRV conducts no fundamental research on companies, thus the inclusion or exclusion of securities followed by the model is purely quantitatively driven. BRV neither covers any companies fundamentally, nor has it received any compensation from companies over the last 12 months, outside of traditional brokerage execution services.
