Indexes are not available for direct investment. Source: Index data, as publicly reported, compiled and calculated via FactSet. Standard Deviation is a statistical measurement of volatility based on historical returns. The indexes above are shown as common proxies for various asset classes, as described.

Other indexes may exist to serve as alternate proxies for the asset classes. All investment methodologies have risks, both general and product-specific, including the risk of loss of principal. Alternative investments, such as hedge funds and managed futures, may have additional risks not typically associated with traditional asset classes.

The information provided is intended to be general in nature, not specific to any investor profile, and should not be construed as investment advice. This information is subject to change at anytime, based on market volatility and other conditions, and should not be considered as a recommendation of any specific security. Always read the prospectus or offering memorandum before making any investment.
