This information should not be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell any security within any asset class discussed above. Asset classes represent broad segments of the investment market. Alternative investments, such as hedge funds and private equity/venture capital funds, are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. There is no secondary market for alternative investments and there may be significant restrictions or limitations on withdrawing from or transferring these types of investments. Private equity funds generally require an investor to make and fund a commitment over several years. Alternative investments generally have high fees (including both management and performance-based fees) and expenses that offset returns. Alternative investments are generally subject to less regulation than publicly traded investments. Alternative Investments typically have higher fees than traditional investments. Investors should carefully review and consider potential risks before investing. Certain of these risks may include but are not limited to:
– Loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment due to leveraging, short-selling, or other speculative practices;
– Lack of liquidity in that there may be no secondary market for a fund;
– Volatility of returns;
– Restrictions on transferring interests in a fund;
– Potential lack of diversification and resulting higher risk due to concentration of trading authority when a single advisor is utilized;
– Absence of information regarding valuations and pricing;
– Complex tax structures and delays in tax reporting;
– Less regulation and higher fees than mutual funds; and
– Risks associated with the operations, personnel, and processes of the manager
