It utilizes best in class technologies to offer an intuitive portal enabling individuals to onboard and invest seamlessly.

As a securities registrant, Parvis is obligated to make certain disclosures to its Clients when purchasing securities through Parvis or are referred to Issuers or other dealers by Parvis, leading to the purchase of securities. Such disclosures are provided to Clients so that they may understand the nature of their relationship with Parvis and are advised of significant matters regarding their trading and investment activities via Parvis.

Products And Services
Parvis is an online platform that facilitates direct investments made by accredited and eligible investors (and other exempt market participants) into real estate projects sponsored by real estate developers, investors, and owners. It also offers various ancillary investment products to accredited and eligible investors. We sell securities (which can be tokenized) of related, unrelated or connected issuers who are investors in the real estate market to individuals and corporations that can rely on an exemption provided under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus and Registration Exemptions, or other available exemptions, if applicable.
Parvis typically offers securities in real estate investments (the “Parvis Real Estate Funds”) where you can opt to invest directly in a particular real estate property. Clients should consult the offering documentation before making an investment decision.
If you open an account with us, we can act as your dealer when you want to buy and/or sell exempt securities from time to time, typically on a private placement basis, provided you are a qualified investor (e.g., a permitted client and/or an accredited investor, or eligible investor). We would be happy to discuss with you whether or not you are a qualified investor.
Your Relationship With Parvis
Parvis acts as an intermediary broker for Issuer Clients and you. However, Parvis, its registered representatives or its employees, may take an ownership interest in any financing that it facilitates other than the broker warrants that it may receive as commission. Parvis may syndicate its offerings to other registered dealers who are either Exempt Market Dealers or Investment Dealers. Parvis may also participate in syndications of other firms. Parvis is required to ensure such referrals are suitable based on the financial and other information it has collected in your New Account Application Form. Parvis does not purport to provide advice or guidance on its Clients’ general financial needs or circumstances. Client accounts are opened solely for the purpose of transacting in issuer offerings. A negotiated commission fee can be paid to Parvis by an Issuer Client upon completing a financing transaction. Parvis is also entitled to be paid by the Issuer Client certain performance fees and other cash and non-cash considerations as disclosed and outlined in a term sheet included with an Issuer Client’s subscription agreement. Parvis does not provide trading accounts for any of its Investor Clients, nor does Parvis make recommendations when to sell securities. Our registered representatives can explain this process to you, the investment risks, and help determine whether any investments are appropriate for you.
Our Reporting To You
Parvis is an online platform that uses secure technology to enable your investments and our reporting to you. Our platform maintains a permanent ledger of the current and historical state of each investor transaction. By logging into your account, you have real time access to all activities in your account. We deliver electronic copies to each of our clients via our platform for following:
— Confirmations of an investment: Parvis will provide confirmations of security purchases to its Clients that a reasonable investor would consider important about the relationship with Parvis as required by regulation (National Instrument 31-103). Please review your investment purchase confirmation upon reception.
— Account statement: As an EMD, we are required to send an account statement per transaction with the transactional information that describes the price per security and the total value of the transaction as required by regulation (National Instrument 31-103). Every confirmation, statement or other communication sent by Parvis shall be deemed to have been acknowledged as correct by you unless we have received written notice to the contrary within 25 days from sending.
— Document Execution: As an online platform, Parvis uses various softwares to help our Clients to securely and in a seamless manner, complete all investment steps, including contract execution and transfer of funds.

— Transfer of Funds: Clients will be prompted to invest in the limited partnerships of Investment Offerings by transferring funds to its segregated bank account. Cash fund transfers are in effect automatically through the Parvis platform while registered fund transfers are in effect through a third party and requires processing. Note that in most cases Parvis will not have an ongoing relationship with you as a Client post-closing of a purchase and sale transaction given that Parvis does not hold any securities and as such will not provide a quarterly statement or any other reporting to you as Client post-closing of a purchase and sale transaction.
Liquidity Risks
Liquidity refers to the speed and ease with which an asset may be sold and converted into cash. Most of the securities distributed to you by Parvis may not be sold easily at a fair price and thus represent investments which are relatively illiquid. Most securities may not be liquid because of legal restrictions, the nature of the investment or certain characteristics of the security. The lack of purchasers interested in a given security or market could also explain why a security may be less liquid. To help mitigate the risk of liquidity, Parvis provides access to its Secondary Market to qualified investors. However, if investors want to liquidate assets quickly, there is a risk the proceeds realized from such sale would be less than the fair market value of the assets or less than what could be expected to be realized under normal circumstances. That said, there is no guarantee that investors on the Parvis Platform will be able to sell their investments or otherwise gain liquidity through the secondary market on the Parvis Platform or otherwise. The difficulty of selling illiquid securities may result in a loss or a reduced return for a portfolio.
