Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Equity investment options involve greater risk, including heightened volatility, than fixed-income investment options. Fixed-income investments are subject to interest rate risk; as interest rates rise their value will decline. Lower-rated securities are subject to additional credit and default risks. Small and mid-cap stocks may have additional risks including greater price volatility. International and global investing involves greater risks such as currently fluctuations, political/social instability and deferring accounting standards.
