How do I link multiple shareholder access identification numbers together?

For different reasons, you may have been issued 2 separate Investor or Rep IDs and PINs. These can be linked together so all your positions will be consolidated under a single username and password. Go to Associate Accounts and enter the original Investor/Rep ID and PIN of the login you would like linked to your account.

Financial Advisor Search Options

What are my options for searching the database for shareholders?

Financial advisors may search on either of the following: shareholder name, shareholder number, fund and/or investment deposit date. The more variables you enter, the narrower your search will be. Leave all fields blank to generate a complete listing of your clients.

Which shareholders will be listed?

Financial advisors may search the database for shareholders who have a financial advisor listed as their current representative of record. The system will provide a list of all shareholders who have had an active investment during the previous 24 months.  Inactive investments prior to the 24 month period will not be displayed.  Please contact Walton International Group Inc.’s Investor Relations Department at 833-217-1715 for inactive investments not displayed.

Do I have to know the exact name of the shareholder I am searching for?

No.  Searches may be done using a partial name or even a single letter. The system searches the database by using the last name for individuals and the first letters of the entity name for non-individual shareholders.

What if I don't know the correct investor number?

You must know the exact investor number to search using this function.  If you don't know the number, use the alpha search by selecting the investor name function.

Why aren’t all Walton International Group Inc. funds displayed on the drop-down list?

What are investments in escrow?

These represent investments that have been deposited with the fund's escrow agent but have not yet been admitted into the fund.  In most cases, the investment will become an active investment once the next shareholder admittance occurs.  Please refer to the prospectus for details regarding escrow arrangements.

What are inactive investments and why are they displayed?

Inactive investments are any investments that are currently inactive but have been active during the previous 24 months.  These investments are listed to allow shareholders to access tax information, which may not be issued until after the investment is inactive.

What is DRIP?

Why is my deposit date blank?

Your deposit date may be blank if you are currently invested in a fund due to a title transfer or a merger.  Please direct further questions to our Walton International Group Inc.’s Investor Relations Department at 833-217-1715. 

Why are the deposit date and the admit date different?

The deposit date reflects the date that an investor's funds were received and deposited by the escrow agent.
