Additionally, investors will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying ETFs in which a managed account invests. For reasons including variances in portfolio account holdings, variances in the investment management fee incurred, market fluctuation, the date on which a client engaged Trademark’s investment management services, and any account contributions or withdrawals, the performance of a specific client’s account may have varied substantially from the indicated Trademark composite performance results.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Asset allocation / diversification does not guarantee investment returns and does not eliminate the risk of loss. There can be no assurance that Trademark’s model will achieve its objective or that the methodology employed by a portfolio strategy will eliminate exposure to downward trends and/or volatility in the markets or provide immediate exposure to upward trends and/or volatility in the markets. Investments are subject to risk, and any of Trademark’s investment strategies may lose money. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s portfolio may be worth more or less than their original investment. An Advisor’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments is important to the portfolio accomplishing its goals. The portfolio could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or sectors, or general market conditions. Fixed-income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation, and reinvestment risks; and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities falls. International investing involves certain risks not usually associated with domestic investing, including currency fluctuation, economic and political volatility, foreign taxation and differences in financial standards.
