PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RETURNS. INVESTING INVOLVES RISK AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL CAPITAL.
UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, ANY PERFORMANCE RETURNS PRESENTED IN THESE MATERIALS REFLECT HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE. HYPOTHETICAL STRATEGIES AND INDICES PRESENTED ARE UNMANAGED, DO NOT REFLECT ANY FEES, EXPENSES, TRANSACTION COSTS, COMMISSIONS OR TAXES, AND ONE CANNOT INVEST DIRECTLY IN ANY OF THESE. THE RESULTS PRESENTED SHOULD NOT BE VIEWED AS INDICATIVE OF THE ADVISER’ SKILL AND DO NOT REFLECT THE PERFORMANCE RESULTS THAT WERE ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR CLIENT. DURING THIS PERIOD, THE ADVISER WAS NOT PROVIDING ADVICE USING THIS MODEL AND CLIENTS’ RESULTS MAY HAVE BEEN MATERIALLY DIFFERENT. Hypothetical model results have many inherent limitations, some of which, but not all, are described herein. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading.
