Risk Considerations
There is no assurance that a portfolio will achieve its investment objective. Portfolios are subject to market risk,
which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by
the portfolio will decline and that the value of portfolio shares may
therefore be less than what you paid for them. Market values can change
daily due to economic and other events (e.g., natural disasters, health
crises, terrorism, conflicts, and social unrest) that affect markets,
countries, companies or governments. It is difficult to predict the
timing, duration, and potential adverse effects (e.g., portfolio
liquidity) of events. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in a
portfolio. Fixed-income securities are subject to the ability of
an issuer to make timely principal and interest payments (credit risk),
changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), the creditworthiness of
the issuer and general market liquidity (market risk). In a rising
interest-rate environment, bond prices may fall and may result in
periods of volatility and increased portfolio redemptions. In a
declining interest-rate environment, the portfolio may generate less
income. Longer-term securities may be more sensitive to interest
rate changes. Investments rated below investment grade (sometimes
referred to as "junk") are typically subject to greater price volatility
and illiquidity than higher rated investments.
There is no guarantee that any investment strategy will work under all market conditions, and each investor should evaluate their ability to invest for the long-term, especially during periods of downturn in the market.
A separately managed account may not be appropriate for all investors. Separate accounts managed according to the particular strategy may include securities that may not necessarily track the performance of a particular index. Please consider the investment objectives, risks and fees of the Strategy carefully before investing. A minimum asset level is required.
