2008 / ANNUAL OFFER/PRIVACY STATEMENT
 
January 11, 2008

To Each of our Advisory Clients:

Each year, Cascade Asset Managers is required to file the Form ADV with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  This registration document is updated annually and whenever material changes occur in our business and services.

As with each annual filing, we are offering you a copy of the public disclosure portion of Cascade Asset Managers’ “ADV Part II”.  We will be happy to send the document to you, or you may ask to see the ADV Part II the next time you visit our office.

The Federal Trade Commission’s Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “Act”) and rules promulgated under the Act, such as the SEC’s Privacy Rule, require financial institutions to notify clients of their policies and procedures designed to protect customer information.  We at Cascade Asset Managers value your trust and confidence and carefully handle information we possess.  This information generally will include: 

• Information provided from applications, forms and other information provided to us either verbally or in writing, and include but are not limited to your name, address, phone number, account information, social security number, employment, assets, income and debt;

• Information about your transactions, accounts, trading activity and parties to transactions;

• Information from other outside sources that may be provided to us by clients or their services providers;

• Any other information that is deemed to be nonpublic personal information as defined by the Act and the SEC’s Privacy Rule.

Please be assured that we do not share or offer for sale our clients’ nonpublic personal information with any other person or firm without your direction or when required by law or regulation.  For example, you may ask us to release financial information to your personal accountant or to another financial services entity within whom you have directed us, in writing or by application, to work with on your behalf.  Our internal procedure for handling your personal information remains unchanged.  Cascade Asset Managers restricts access to its records to only those persons who have a need to obtain information in order to deliver advisory or administrative services.  If you should have any questions or concerns regarding our privacy policy and procedures, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

This communication gives us another opportunity to express our appreciation for your continued business.  We are dedicated to providing you with personalized services and always want to know how you think we’re doing.   We would also welcome an opportunity to share information about our services with any person you may feel could benefit from knowing we are available to provide professional investment advisory, financial planning and consultation services. 

We always look forward to hearing from you.  The value and usefulness of the asset management and planning services we provide are dependent upon availability of current information and upon your active, ongoing participation.  Please do not hesitate to call on us if you have any questions or if we can be of any further assistance.

Best regards,

Valerie Holcomb
President
