All investing involves risk.
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to credit and interest rate risks. Bond prices fluctuate inversely to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a general rise in interest rates can result in the decline in the bond’s price. Although Treasuries are considered free from credit risk, they are subject to interest rate risk, which may cause the underlying value of the security to fluctuate
High yield, lower rated securities involve greater price volatility and present greater credit risks than higher rated fixed income securities. Emerging markets securities may be less liquid and more volatile and are subject to a number of additional risks, including but not limited to currency fluctuations and political instability
Equity securities are more volatile than bonds and subject to greater risks.
