Investing involves risk including the possible loss of principal. Asset allocation cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns. Diversification does not guarantee profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Since each person’s situation is different, you should review your specific investment objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance and liquidity needs with your financial professional before selecting a suitable savings or investment strategy. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
