This document explains in detail the instructions on how to establish Online access to any First Clearing Corporation (FCC) Brokerage Accounts. Due to regulations we are unable to perform this service for you directly.

1. Make sure you have ALL of your FCC Account Numbers available. You can find these numbers on your statements you receive each month/quarter. Also, it will be helpful if you have an internet ready computer with you to test this access once complete.
2. Call 877-488-3748. This is the number that handles First Clearing Online Access.
3. You will be transferred to a customer service representative who will verify your identity. (i.e. Name, Address, Last 4 digits of Social Security Number).
4. You will then be asked for the “username” you would like to use.
5. They will then give you a temporary “password”.
6. Have them stay on the phone with you while you test this login information. The website address is: www.sigma4clients.com
7. Once you login, you will then be asked to change your temporary password to a new permanent one. This password needs to be 8-20 characters containing as least 1 number & 1 letter.
8. You should now see a “Welcome to Access Online” screen. Please read and then click on “Continue”.
9. You should now see a “Sigma Financial Corporation (the “Introducing Firm”) ONLINE AGREEMENT AND ENROLLMENT FORM” screen. There are multiple items you need to read and elect before you can move past this screen. Once done, click on “Continue” at the bottom of this screen.
10. You should now be viewing your Account Summary containing all of your accounts. For your protection, only the last 4 digits of each account are listed. You can also change the “Account Name” and other options in the “Customize” section of the website. Please note that your main and detail headings are on the left toolbar.

Additional “Electronic Delivery Options” you may want to setup – This may help you eliminate or reduce some of that unwanted volume of paperwork via mail.

You may want to setup electronic delivery of Statements, Trade Confirmations, Tax Documents, and/or Shareholder Communications. You can find these options under the “Customer Service” section on the top toolbar, then “Enroll” on the left toolbar section. Click on which documents you would like to receive electronically, then follow the screen prompts to complete the process. Below are the 4 types of documents that you can elect to receive electronically.

1. Online Statements – These are your monthly/quarterly statements showing the period transactions, initial and ending values, holdings, etc. We recommend that you keep receiving these documents as these are written records for tax purposes.
2. Online Trade Confirmations – These are your daily confirmations sent out as trades occur on your account. (NOTE: If you have any Compass managed accounts these will be very frequent due to active management of these accounts). This option would eliminate or reduce much of the paperwork mailed to you. This is one of my two biggest complaints, that people feel inundated. Confirms best serve to match up individual transactions on the monthly statement and then they can be saved or disposed.
3. Online Tax Documents > These are the tax documents usually sent in February/March each year showing any taxation that has occurred during the previous calendar year.
4. Online Shareholder Communications > These consist of voting proxies, annual reports, prospectus, etc. (NOTE: This can be lots of paper by Mail if you do not elect this option to receive electronically.) Same comments apply as in 2. in this section on “Electronic Delivery Options” above.
