Past performance is not a guarantee of future results for any investment. Private alternative investments are not for every client.

Alternative investments are not risk-free and there is no guarantee of achieving attractive performance compared to similar liquid investments. Risks associated with investments in private alternatives include the illiquid nature of such investments, risks associated with leveraged investments, manager-specific risks, sector-specific risks, and in certain cases geographical risk, as well as the risk of loss of principal.
