Last Updated: October 2026

This is the Website Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) of American Securities (“American Securities,” “we,” or “us”). An important part of our commitment to you is our respect for your privacy as a user of this website (the "Site").

This Privacy Policy sets out how we collect Personal Information from or about you when you visit the Site, and how we may use, share, and retain such Personal Information. The term “Personal Information” has the meaning given to it under applicable laws and regulations relating to data protection and privacy (including similar terms such as “personal data”) and, for the avoidance of doubt, refers to any information which directly or indirectly identifies or otherwise relates to an individual person.

Your visit to the Site is subject to this Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into our Terms of Use. By visiting the Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy, which may be updated by us at any time. You should review this Privacy Policy carefully and periodically. If you do not agree with it, you should not use the Site. By using the Site, you confirm that you understand and agree with the provisions of this Privacy Policy. Please note that if you do not provide certain Personal Information to American Securities when requested, we may not be able to provide you with access to all areas and features of the Site.

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Personal Information that we may collect through the Site and does not concern any third-party website to which the Site may link.

For investors in American Securities funds, our Investor Privacy Notice describes how we collect, use and otherwise process Personal Information. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Privacy Policy and the Investor Privacy Notice, the Investor Privacy Notice will govern.

Please note that certain aspects of the Site may not be accessible or work correctly if you block cookies.
