Rules of engagement when interacting with the Columbia Threadneedle brand

Because the financial services industry is highly regulated, there are certain rules we need to follow on social media websites where we have a presence. We ask that you respect these rules as well. Posts and comments that do not comply will be removed at our discretion.

• Columbia Threadneedle Investments (Columbia Threadneedle) is the global brand name of the Columbia and Threadneedle group of companies. Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. is a broker-dealer registered with FINRA. Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC is a registered investment adviser. Comments and "likes" by visitors to Columbia Threadneedle social media pages should not be considered representative of all client experiences, or indicative of future performance or success. Columbia Threadneedle does not solicit endorsements of its investment advisory services via wall comments and "likes," and asks you to refrain from doing so.
• Linking to third-party/external content, including retweeting, is for informational purposes only and does not necessarily represent or reflect the views or opinions of Columbia Threadneedle, its affiliates or employees. Providing links to third-party content should not be construed as an express or implied endorsement of content.
• Columbia Threadneedle may not be able to respond to your posts. This is not because we aren't interested but because we must adhere to strict communications guidelines. We'll do our best to create a valuable and useful space for you on our social media properties.
• Please do not post investment advice (like specific stock or fund recommendations), testimonials (statements about your experience with Columbia Threadneedle), account information, or ask specific financial questions on Columbia Threadneedle social media properties. Contact us directly with account inquiries or specific financial questions.
• Posts and comments should be respectful and related to the purpose of the topic at hand. Posts that are inappropriate, disrespectful, inaccurate, off topic, or otherwise do not meet these guidelines will be removed.
• Current Columbia Threadneedle employees may not post comments without permission. (Those with permission have already received confirmation of permission.) While we appreciate your enthusiasm for your work and workplace, regulations require approval through established channels for any content posted to official Columbia Threadneedle social media properties.
• Columbia Threadneedle wants to help you protect your privacy. While we maintain a presence on social media websites, we are not affiliated with them and we cannot control how they or other parties will use the information you share on it. In other words, it's your responsibility to read and understand the privacy policies and terms of service for each social media platform you participate in.
