Left Right

We chose to partner with Alpaca for many reasons. Still, we want to highlight
Alpaca's ability to differentiate as an API-first company and provide an
unparalleled brokerage as a service to InvestSky. We appreciate the support we
get from all Alpaca teams ranging from Sales to Customer Success. We also really
appreciate how supportive Alpaca's leadership is towards partners." - Turki
Alshaikh, Co-Founder of Investsky

!Testimonials Disclosure

Alpaca has been a great business partner. One of the reasons we chose Alpaca is
due to their Local Currency Trading API. We believe this offering will simplify
the trading experience for Japanese investors by providing access to US stocks
in local currency without having to convert to the US dollar at any point." -
Brian Yun, Co-Founder at Woodstock

!Testimonials Disclosure

Alpaca's Broker API has everything needed to build a full-fledged trading
application out of the box. Building our backend infrastructure on top of Broker
API was easier than expected, given their extensive documentation, ready-to-test
sandbox environment, and professional support." - Abdulrahman Al Kharafi, CEO of
Zad App & Head of Fintech Securities House

!Testimonials Disclosure

Before Alpaca, companies like ours would likely have undergone the grueling,
complex process to become a broker themselves, taking up a significant amount of
time, dev resources, and legal resources. Alpaca is one of the most important
companies in our stack, and has made it significantly easier for companies to
bring their product to market." - Som Mohapatra, CIO and Co-founder at Quantbase

!Testimonials Disclosure

Alpaca has been a great business partner. The Broker API team has been highly
responsive and professional throughout our integration and launching journey.
They have helped us significantly in decreasing time-to-market by having a
well-documented process." - Saleeh Alaqeel, Cofounder and COO at Abyan Capital

are not protected by either FDIC or SIPC. Please see the Disclosure Library for
more information.

DISCLOSURES

Brokerage services are provided by Alpaca Securities, member FINRA/SIPC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of AlpacaDB, Inc.

Technology and services are offered by AlpacaDB, Inc.

Brokerage services are provided to customers who can write automated investment
code and self-direct their own investments. Alpaca brokerage services are only
provided to customers who agree to electronically sign agreements and agree to
receive messages, confirmations, and statements electronically. Is Alpaca right
for me?

The Paper Trading API is offered by AlpacaDB, Inc. and does not require real
money or permit a user to transact in real securities in the market. Providing
use of the Paper Trading API is not an offer or solicitation to buy or sell
securities, securities derivative or futures products of any kind, or any type
of trading or investment advice, recommendation or strategy, given or in any
manner endorsed by AlpacaDB, Inc. or any AlpacaDB, Inc. affiliate and the
information made available through the Paper Trading API is not an offer or
solicitation of any kind in any jurisdiction where AlpacaDB, Inc. or any
AlpacaDB, Inc. affiliate (collectively, "Alpaca") is not authorized to do
business.

You should know that the use or granting of any third party access to your
account information or place transactions in your account at your direction is
solely at your risk. Alpaca does not warrant against loss of use or any direct,
indirect or consequential damages or losses to you caused by your assent,
expressed or implied, to a third party accessing your account or information,
including access provided through any other third party apps, systems, or sites.

Market prices, data and other information available through Alpaca are not
warranted as to completeness or accuracy and are subject to change without
notice. System response and account access times may vary due to a variety of
factors, including trading volumes, market conditions, system performance, and
other factors. A more complete description of the impact these factors may have
can be found in our risks of automated trading systems section.

All investments involve risk and the past performance of a security, or
financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. Keep in mind
that while diversification may help spread risk it does not assure a profit, or
protect against loss, in a down market. There is always the potential of losing
money when you invest in securities, or other financial products. Investors
should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before
investing.

There are risks unique to automated trading algorithms that you should know
about and plan for. You should setup a method or system of continuous monitoring
or alerting to let you know if there is a mechanical failure, such as
connectivity issues, power loss, a computer crash, or system quirk. You should
also monitor for instances where your automated trading system experiences
anomalies that could result in errant, missing, or duplicated orders. A more
complete description of these and other risks can be found in our FAQ section.

Conditional orders may have increased risk as a result of their reliance on
trigger processing, market data, and other internal and external systems. Such
orders are not sent to the market until specified conditions are met. During
that time, issues such as system outages with downstream technologies or third
parties may occur. Conditional orders triggering near the market close may fail
to execute that day. Furthermore, our executing partner may impose controls on
conditional orders to limit erroneous trades triggering downstream orders.
Alpaca Securities may not always be made aware of such changes to external
controls immediately, which may lead to some conditional orders not being
executed. As such, it is important to monitor conditional orders for
reasonability. Conditional orders are “Not Held” orders whose execution
instructions are on a best efforts basis upon being triggered. Furthermore,
conditional orders may be subject to the increased risks of stop orders and
market orders outlined above. Given the increased potential risk of using
conditional orders, the client agrees that Alpaca Securities cannot be held
responsible for losses, damages, or missed opportunity costs associated with
market data problems, systems issues, and user error, among other factors. By
using conditional orders the client understands and accepts the risks outlined
above. Alpaca Securities encourages leveraging the use of Paper accounts to
become more comfortable with the intricacies associated with these orders.

ETFs can entail risks similar to direct stock ownership, including market,
sector, or industry risks. Some ETFs may involve international risk, currency
risk, commodity risk, and interest rate risk. Trading prices may not reflect the
net asset value of the underlying securities.

All accounts are opened as limited purpose margin accounts. You should know that
margin trading involves interest charges and risks, including the potential to
lose more than deposited or the need to deposit additional collateral in a
falling market. Before using margin, customers must determine whether this type
of trading strategy is right for them given their specific investment
objectives, experience, risk tolerance, and financial situation. For more
information please see Alpaca's Margin Disclosure Statement and Margin
Agreement. These disclosures contain information on Alpaca Securities's lending
policies, interest charges, and the risks associated with margin accounts.

Any fee you pay is based on the specific transaction and not the value of your
account. In general, we do not charge a commission for trades. However, certain
arrangements with authorized business partners may preclude commission free
trades by Alpaca Securities. If your account is established via an authorized
business partner, please refer to the fee schedule provided through your
authorized partner’s website or platform. Customers of Alpaca Securities should
refer to the Alpaca Securities Brokerage Fee Schedule. Please ensure you review
the fees and costs identified on any confirmations and statements you receive.

Cryptocurrency is highly speculative in nature, involves a high degree of risks,
such as volatile market price swings, market manipulation, flash crashes, and
cybersecurity risks. Cryptocurrency is not regulated or is lightly regulated in
most countries. Cryptocurrency trading can lead to large, immediate and
permanent loss of financial value. You should have appropriate knowledge and
experience before engaging in cryptocurrency trading. For additional information
please click here.

Cryptocurrency services are made available by Alpaca Crypto, a FinCEN registered
money services business (NMLS # 2160858), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
AlpacaDB, Inc. Alpaca Crypto is not a member of SIPC or FINRA. Cryptocurrencies
are not stocks and your cryptocurrency investments are not protected by either
FDIC or SIPC. Please see the Disclosure Library for more information.

COMMISSIONS DISCLOSURE

At Alpaca Securities LLC, our mission is to provide general brokerage services
for free. However, there are some services used by our customers that cannot be
provided for free because there is a direct cost associated with those services,
that is, the service is not shared among all of our clients. Even in those
instances, Alpaca will strive to provide the service at the lowest possible
price to ensure that our clients benefit from low costs and we can continue to
offer those services.
