Risk considerations
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Past Performance does not guarantee future return. All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of the investment and the income from it will vary and the initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed. Fixed‐‐income investment options are subject to interest rate risk, and their value will decline as interest rates rise. Potential investors should be aware that Investment grade corporate bonds carry credit risks, default risk, liquidity risks, currency risks, operational risks, legal risks, counterparty risk and valuation risks. Lower‐rated securities are subject to additional credit and default risks. Asset backed securities are affected by the quality of the credit extended in the underlying loans. As a result, their quality is dependent upon the selection of the commercial mortgage portfolio and the cash flow generated by the commercial real estate assets. Commercial Mortgage‐Backed Securities carry greater risk compared to other securities in times of market stress. There may be less information on the financial condition of municipal issuers than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for other bonds. Emerging market debt may be subject to heightened default and liquidity risk. Private credit involves an investment in non‐publicly traded securities which are subject to illiquidity risk. Portfolios that invest in private credit may be leveraged and may engage in speculative investment practices that increase the risk of investment loss.
