IMPORTANT INFORMATION

AssetMark sends communications to keep financial advisors up-to-date on events and webinars, investment approaches, technology enhancements, business best practices and service updates.

This report is for informational purposes only, is not a solicitation, and should not be considered investment advice. The information in this report has been drawn from sources believed to be reliable, but its accuracy is not guaranteed, and is subject to change. Investors seeking more information should contact their financial advisor. Financial advisors may seek more information by contacting AssetMark at 800-664-5345.  

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Asset allocation cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will outperform a non-diversified portfolio. No investment strategy, such as asset allocation, can guarantee a profit or protect against loss. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Investments in mutual funds and exchange traded funds that hold equities, bonds, and other securities can decline significantly in response to adverse market conditions, company-specific events, changes in exchange rates, and domestic, international, economic, and political developments. Investments in bonds and fixed income related securities also involve market and interest rate risk (prices can decline, if interest rates increase), and default risk (an issuer being unable to repay principal and interest). High-yield bonds are generally subject to greater risk of default and volatility, than investment-grade bonds. Real estate investments are subject to credit and market risks, typically based on changes in interest rates and varied economic conditions. Investing in alternative investments, including managed futures, commodities, and currencies is not appropriate for all persons, as the risk of loss is substantial. Investments in futures involve market, counterparty, leverage, liquidity, interest rate, foreign currency, commodity, volatility, and other risks.

For more complete information about the various investment solutions available, including the investment objectives, risks and fees, please refer to the Disclosure Brochure and applicable Fund Prospectus. Please read them carefully before investing. For a copy, please contact your AssetMark Consultant or Financial Advisor.
