Scope of this site
The material on this site is published for general information. No content here is an offer, a solicitation, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and it does not take account of the objectives, financial situation or needs of any particular person.
Investment risk
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The value of an investment fluctuates and may be worth more or less than its original cost when sold. Diversification and asset allocation do not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Performance figures shown anywhere on this site do not represent the return of any individual account and are stated before the effect of taxes.
Calculators and projections
The planning calculators use simplified assumptions, including a constant rate of return that no market delivers in practice. They generally ignore taxes, fees, inflation and sequence-of-returns risk unless a page states otherwise. Results are illustrations, not predictions of your actual outcome.
Tax information
Contribution limits, distribution ages and tax treatments described on this site are subject to change and may not reflect the most recent guidance. Nothing here is tax or legal advice. Consult a qualified tax professional or attorney about your own circumstances.
Account protection
SIPC protection covers the failure of a brokerage firm - never investment losses. It does not protect against a decline in the market value of the securities you hold, and it does not apply to every asset type. Coverage limits apply per customer, by separate capacity.
