Investment Risk Disclosures
Risk of Loss
All investments involve risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up, and investors may not recover the amount originally invested. You should carefully consider your investment objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, and liquidity needs before investing.
Past Performance
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any performance data, returns, or projections presented on this website or in our materials are historical and do not guarantee future performance. Performance results may be affected by market conditions, economic factors, and other variables beyond our control.
Market Risk
Equity investments are subject to market risk, including the risk that the value of securities will decline due to factors affecting individual companies, industries, or the broader market. Market conditions can change rapidly and unpredictably, and no investment strategy can guarantee protection against market losses.
Concentration Risk
Concentrated portfolios that hold a limited number of securities may be subject to greater volatility than diversified portfolios. The poor performance of a single holding can have a significant negative impact on overall portfolio performance.
International Investment Risk
Investments in foreign securities involve additional risks, including currency risk, political risk, regulatory risk, and differences in accounting standards. Emerging market investments carry additional risks due to less developed regulatory frameworks, lower liquidity, and greater political and economic instability.
Liquidity Risk
Some investments may be illiquid or subject to restrictions on transfer. There may be no established market for certain securities, and it may be difficult or impossible to sell them at a favorable price or at all. Investors should be prepared to hold illiquid investments for extended periods.
Leverage Risk
The use of leverage (borrowing) to enhance investment returns can amplify both gains and losses. Leveraged strategies may result in losses that exceed the initial investment. Investors should understand the risks associated with leverage before investing in leveraged strategies.
Short Selling Risk
Short selling involves the sale of securities not owned by the seller, with the expectation that the price will decline. Short selling carries the risk of theoretically unlimited losses if the price of the shorted security rises. Short selling strategies may not be suitable for all investors.
