Active Risk Allocation Portfolios Disclosure:
Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. The portfolios are subject to the investment performance (positive or negative), risks and expenses of underlying funds in which they invest. Asset allocation does not assure a profit or protect against loss. ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk and will fluctuate in market value. Investing in derivatives is a specialized activity that involves special risks that subject the portfolio to significant loss potential, including when used as leverage, and may result in greater fluctuation in portfolio value. The portfolio’s use of leverage allows for investment exposure in excess of net assets, thereby potentially magnifying volatility of returns and risk of loss. Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to a transaction in a financial instrument held by investments inside the portfolio(s) may become insolvent or otherwise fail to perform its obligations. As a result, the underlying fund may obtain no or limited recovery of its investment, and any recovery may be significantly delayed. Commodity investments may be affected by the overall market and industry-and commodity-specific factors, and may be more volatile and less liquid than other investments. Short positions (where the underlying asset is not owned) can create unlimited risk. International investing involves certain risks and volatility due to potential political, economic or currency instabilities and different financial and accounting standards. Risks are enhanced for emerging market issuers. Fixed- income securities present issuer default risk. A rise in interest rates may result in a price decline of fixed-income instruments held by the portfolio, negatively impacting its performance and NAV. Falling rates may result in the portfolio investing in lower yielding debt instruments, lowering the portfolio’s income and yield. These risks may be heightened for longer maturity and duration securities. Interest payments on inflation-protected securities may be more volatile than interest paid on ordinary bonds. Inflation-protected securities can provide investors with a hedge against inflation, as the securities have an inflation adjustment feature which helps preserve the purchasing power of the investment. Because of this inflation adjustment feature, inflation protected bonds typically have lower yields-to-maturity than conventional duration equivalent fixed rate bonds. In periods of deflation, inflation-protected securities may provide no income and will likely decline in price, which could result in losses.

Alternative investments such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) and commodities involve substantial risks and may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional investments, making them more suitable for investors with an above average tolerance for risk. REITs are subject to illiquidity, valuation and financing complexities, taxes, default, bankruptcy and other economic, political or regulatory occurrences. Floating rate loans typically present greater risk than other fixed-income investments as they are generally subject to legal or contractual resale restrictions, may trade less frequently and experience value impairments during liquidation. Issuers engaged in the energy and natural resources industry may be subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition. The values of natural resources are affected by numerous factors including naturally occurring events, demand, inflation, interest rates, and local and international politics. Non-investment grade securities have greater credit risk and volatility. Interest payments on inflation-protected securities may be more volatile than interest paid on ordinary bonds. In periods of deflation, these securities provide no income. Asset allocation and diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss.

Equity risks: Generally, large-cap companies are more mature and have limited growth potential compared to smaller companies. In addition, large companies may not be able to adapt as easily to changing market conditions, potentially resulting in lower overall performance compared to the broader securities markets during different market cycle. Investments in small- and mid-cap companies involve risks and volatility greater than investments in larger, more established companies. Growth securities, at times, may not perform as well as value securities or the stock market in general and may be out of favor with investors. Value securities may be unprofitable if the market fails to recognize their intrinsic worth or the portfolio manager misgauged that worth. International investing involves certain risks and volatility due to potential political, economic or currency instabilities and different financial and accounting standards. These risks are enhanced for emerging markets. Fixed-income securities present issuer default risk. Non-investment grade (“high yield”) securities have greater credit risk and volatility. Prepayment and extension risk exists because a loan, bond or other investment may be called, prepaid or redeemed before maturity and similar yielding investments may not be available for purchase. A rise in interest rates may result in a price decline of fixed-income instruments held by the portfolio, negatively impacting its performance and market value. Falling rates may result in the portfolio investing in lower yielding debt instruments, lowering the portfolio's income and yield. These risks may be heightened for longer maturity and duration securities. Investments in municipal securities will be affected by tax, legislative, regulatory, demographic or political changes, as well as changes impacting a state's financial, economic or other conditions. Alternative investments such as commodities involve substantial risks and may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional investments, making them more suitable for investors with an above average tolerance for risk.
Income from tax-exempt municipal bonds or municipal bond funds may be subject to state and local taxes, and a portion of income may be subject to the federal and/or state alternative minimum tax for certain investors. Federal and state income tax rules will apply to any capital gains.
