Model Portfolio Guide

Here’s a look at each:

Investments in fixed income and equity securities are subject to the following principal investment risks: the risk that the price of securities may decline in response to general market and economic conditions or events, as well as investment rate risk, or the risk that the issuer’s earnings prospects and overall financial position will deteriorate, causing a decline in the security’s value over short or extended periods. Mid‑ and small‑cap investments may be subject to additional risk due to reduced market share. International investments are subject to certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, economic instability, and political developments not present with domestic investments. Emerging market investments can offer higher potential returns to long‑term investors but also carry higher risk. Emerging market investments entail higher political and liquidity risks than domestic investments and, as such, may be more volatile. Currency risks also affect emerging market investments. REITs, which own real estate, are subject to a number of risks, including possible declines in the value of real estate, risks related to economic conditions, possible lack of availability of mortgage funds, overbuilding, extended vacancies of properties, and dependency upon skills of the management of REITs. The return and principal
value of any investments in securities may fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk and prepayment risk. Bond values may change due to current interest rate changes and are subject to the risk that the issuer may default. An investment in the money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency; although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. Asset allocation programs do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. No program can guarantee that any objective or
goal will be achieved.
