Figures are what the firm reported on Form ADV Part 1A. “No commissions reported” means the firm did not check commissions as a form of compensation in Item 5.E; check Item 6.A activities and the Part 2 brochure for other conflicts. A “Yes” for disclosures is a public-record fact from Form ADV Item 11; it can relate to the firm or its advisory affiliates, can be old, and does not by itself describe the outcome.
