All Investing involves risk including the potential loss of principal. No investment strategy such as asset allocation can guarantee a profit or protect against loss in periods of declining values. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Therefore, the information presented here should only be relied upon when coordinated with individual professional advice.

Periodic investment plans such as dollar cost averaging do not assure a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets. Such plans involve continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels. Investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels.

Indexes cannot be invested in directly, are unmanaged and do not incur management fees, costs and expenses

Fixed income investments are subject to various risks including changes in interest rates, credit quality, inflation risk, market valuations, prepayments, corporate events, tax ramifications and other factors. Securities sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss. In general, the bond market is volatile as prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. Vehicles that invest in lower-rated debt securities (commonly referred to as junk bonds) involve additional risks because of the lower credit quality of the securities in the portfolio. The investor should be aware of the possible higher level of volatility, and increased risk of default.

International investing involves special risks not present with U.S. investments due to factors such as increased volatility, currency fluctuation, and differences in auditing and other financial standards. These risks can be accentuated in emerging markets.
