Risk Disclosures 

All investments involve the risk of loss of principal. A principal risk of investing in value stocks is that the price of the security may not approach its anticipated value or may decline in value. “Value” investments, as a category, or entire industries or sectors associated with such investments, may lose favor with investors as compared to those that are more “growth” oriented. 

There are risks associated with investing in foreign investments (including depositary receipts). Foreign investments, which can be denominated in foreign currencies, are susceptible to less politically, economically and socially stable environments; fluctuations in the value of foreign currency and exchange rates; and adverse changes to government regulations. 

Investment in gold and gold-related investments present certain risks, and returns on gold-related investments have traditionally been more volatile than investments in broader equity or debt markets. Gold is used as a potential hedge in portfolios. 

Diversification does not guarantee investment returns and does not eliminate the risk of loss. 

“Intrinsic value” is based on our judgment of what a prudent and rational business buyer would pay in cash for all of the company in normal markets.

Gross domestic product (GDP) measures the total value of all economic output in goods and services for an economy. 

Duration risk is a measure of the sensitivity of the price of a bond or other debt instrument to a change in interest rates.
