FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


    Unknown Rogue Elements Impersonate Capital Wealth Planning, LLC and Its Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Simpson


NAPLES, FL (June 7, 2024) – Yesterday, Capital Wealth Planning, LLC (“CWP”) was informed that someone was impersonating it and their Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Simpson on the mobile application Whatsapp ™. First, CWP does not use Whatsapp to market its services. Second, CWP only works with registered advisors, to provide investment advice to clients whom it has a contractual relationship with, and regardless, CWP only does so where it has trading discretion to make trades without needing to contact clients. Third, like all registered investment advisers, CWP only enters into contractual relationships with clients who have been provided its Form ADV, Parts 2A, 2B and 3. Fourth, CWP does not provide recommendations on individual stocks to strangers.  Doing so would violate its Code of Ethics. Fifth, CWP does not have “VIP Members,” as was claimed in the masquerading posts, and Sixth, CWP does not pay “cooperation commissions,” as claimed in the fake posts.

Upon discovering these sham communications, CWP has alerted local law enforcement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Securities and Exchange Commission and has asked Whatsapp to take down the offending false posts as they seem to violate its own Terms of Service.

More information about CWP is available at its website: https://capitalwealthplanning.com/

The services provided are that of a registered investment adviser and include: managed portfolios, dividend paying stocks, income portfolio, covered calls, cash secured puts and many others.

DISCLAIMER

IMPORTANT NOTE: Capital Wealth Planning, LLC, (CWP) is an SEC registered investment adviser.  SEC Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Capital Wealth Planning, LLC only transacts business in states where it is properly registered or in compliance with applicable state regulations. Individualized responses that involve actual or contemplated securities transactions or the rendering of personal investment advice for compensation will not be made absent compliance with all applicable investment adviser regulation requirements. Please contact CWP if there are any questions.

Capital Wealth Planning and its representatives are in compliance with the current registration requirements imposed upon registered investment advisors by those states in which it maintains clients. Capital Wealth Planning may only transact business in those states in which it is registered or qualifies for an exemption or exclusion from registration requirements. The results achieved by individual clients will vary and will depend on a number of factors including the particular underlying investments and their dividend yield, option market liquidity, interest rate levels, implied volatility, client investment objectives, risk tolerance, goals and whether an investor imposes any reasonable CWP approved investment restrictions or limitations on their separately managed account, and the expressed return volatility, and the client’s expressed return and risk parameters at the time the service is initiated and during the term. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in options involves risk that must be considered and reviewed with a professional prior to investing. This website is not intended for the giving of investment advice to any single investor or group of investors.

Covered call option cash flow for any portfolio will vary depending on actual portfolio positions, option premiums received, individual security price volatility, and general stock market volatility. Positions covered by call options may be called away, creating realized capital gains or losses. Cash flow is not guaranteed over any period. More information may be found in CWP’s Form ADV.

RISKS TO CONSIDER:

While CWP takes considerable care in reducing the possibility of having shares called away, there can be no guarantee that the owner of the call option will not exercise the option prior to CWP’s repurchase of the sold option.

The actual income from the strategy will depend, to a large extent, on the target price of the underlying security. Therefore, the amount of incremental cash yield is predominantly determined by investors’ individual risk tolerances and willingness to sell the underlying position.

Covered call writing can provide limited downside protection. It does not, however, eliminate downside risks. Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors. Prior to opening an account with Capital Wealth Planning, clients are required to understand the risks associated with the purchase or sale of options by receiving the Options Clearing Corporation Publication, “Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Option Trading”. Copies of this document may be obtained by your Financial Advisor or the Option Clearing Corporation. Risks of options are available in the “Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options,” which is available at https://www.occ.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp, calling (888) 678-4667 or by calling CWP at (239) 593-2100. Investments or strategies discussed may fluctuate in price or value.

ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER:

CWP’s services should be considered in connection with its written disclosure brochure (i.e., Form ADV Part 2A), a copy of which is available for free by calling (239)593-2100, emailing [email protected] or clicking the “ADV FORM” button located at the bottom right of this page.
