This is for informational purposes only, is not a solicitation, and should not be considered investment, legal, or tax advice. This information has been drawn from sources believed to be reliable, but its accuracy is not guaranteed, and is subject to change.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Asset allocation alone cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will outperform a non-diversified portfolio. No investment strategy, such as asset allocation, can guarantee a profit or protect against loss. Actual client results will vary based on investment selection, timing, market conditions, and tax situation. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Indexes are unmanaged, do not incur management fees, costs It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Indexes are unmanaged, do not incur management fees, costs and expenses and cannot be invested in directly. Index performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends.

Investments in mutual funds and exchange traded funds that hold equities, bonds, and other securities can decline significantly in response to adverse market conditions, company-specific events, changes in exchange rates, and domestic, international, economic, and political developments. Investments in bonds and fixed income related securities involve market and interest rate risk (prices can decline, if interest rates increase), and default risk (an issuer being unable to repay principal and interest). High-yield bonds are generally subject to greater risk of default than investment-grade bonds. Real estate investments are subject to credit and market risks, typically based on changes in interest rates and varied economic conditions. Investing in alternative investments, including managed futures, commodities, and currencies is not appropriate for all persons, as the risk of loss is substantial. Investments in futures involve market, counterparty, leverage, liquidity, interest rate, foreign currency, commodity, volatility, and other risks.
