Testimonials and/or endorsements of portfolio company executives are provided to demonstrate the benefits of working with the Hughes & Company team. They are not provided to solicit investors in a Hughes & Company fund. Some executives featured in the testimonials or endorsements have an interest in a Hughes & Company fund; such executive’s testimonial or endorsement is not offered on the basis of being an investor in a Hughes & Company fund but rather as an executive who works with the Hughes & Company team. Additionally, Hughes & Company executives are compensated for their work with Hughes & Company but not for their testimonial or endorsement. There is a conflict of interest in these unpaid testimonials and endorsements in that the executives stand to benefit from Hughes & Company’s success and are thus incented to provide favorable references.
