The alternatives strategies and asset classes
mentioned are not suitable for all investors. Many alternative
strategies use sophisticated and aggressive investment techniques
such as leveraging, short selling and derivatives. The more you
invest in leveraged instruments, the more the leverage will magnify
any gains or losses on those investments. The use of short selling
involves increased risks and costs. You risk paying more for a
security than you received from its sale. Theoretically, stocks
sold short have the risk of unlimited losses. The use of
derivatives such as futures, options and swap agreements may expose
an investment to additional risks that it would not be subject to
if you invested directly in the securities underlying those
derivatives. Additionally, certain alternative strategies tied to
hard assets such as commodities, currencies and real estate, may be
subject to greater volatility as they may be affected by overall
market movements, changes in interest rates or factors affecting a
particular industry, commodity or currency, -such as droughts,
floods, weather, livestock disease, embargos, tariffs and
international economic, political and regulatory developments. No
investment strategy can guarantee a return in a declining market.
Additionally, an investor could lose all or a substantial amount of
their investment. For more information about these strategies and
their risks please consult your financial advisor.
