PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. Inherent in any investment is the potential for loss as well as the potential for gain. A list of all recommendations made within the immediately preceding year is available upon request.

Risk Disclosures: The goal of Absolute Return money managers is to achieve positive returns regardless of those earned in financial markets or shown in benchmarks. They seek to do this, often, using non-traditional investment techniques and asset categories. Of course, there can be no guarantee that any investor will achieve the goal of the managers, that profits will be made, or even that losses will be avoided. Some of the risks these strategies can be exposed to are: Strategy and asset allocation decisions may not always be correct and may adversely affect account performance. The use of leverage may magnify this risk. Leverage and funds employing derivatives carry other risks that may result in losses, including the effects of unexpected market shifts, default and/or the potential illiquidity of certain derivatives. International investments carry additional risks, including volatile currencies, economies, and governments, and emerging-market securities can also be illiquid. Bonds are affected by changes in interest rates, credit conditions, and inflation. As interest rates rise, prices of bonds fall. Long-term bonds are more sensitive to interest-rate risk than short-term bonds, while lower-rated bonds may offer higher yields in return for more risk. Unlike bonds, bond funds have ongoing fees and expenses. Stocks of small and/or midsize companies increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. REITs involve the risks of real estate investing, including declining property values. Commodities involve the risks of changes in market, political, regulatory, and natural conditions.  Additional risks are listed in Advisor's Brochure Form ADV, which will be provided by advisor and which prospective investors are encouraged to read.
