How figures are sourced
Figures labelled "KERNSTEIN research" are KERNSTEIN's own indicative estimates from its BOT practice. They are ranges, not quotes. Where a page gives a worked example, a "How we calculate this" note shows the inputs. Figures marked "estimate" are approximate.
Legal, tax and regulatory points are general information, not legal or tax advice. Check them with qualified counsel for your situation.
