Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. All investments are subject to risk, including the loss of the principal amount invested. There is no guarantee of downside protection and losses may occur, including the loss of the entire principal amount invested.
RISKS: Alternative investments offer the potential for diversification, higher returns, and protection against inflation, however they come with their own set of risks and challenges. Alternative investments may lack transparency as to share price, valuation, and portfolio holdings. Complex tax structures often result in delayed tax reporting. Compared to mutual funds, private funds are subject to less regulation and often charge higher fees. An investor may not have access to their investment for an extended period of time. Market risk is prevalent since many of the companies invested in are unproven, which can lead to significant losses. Default risk is also higher with less established companies. Additional risks include limited operating history, uncertain distributions, inconsistent valuation of a portfolio, changing interest rates, leveraging of assets, reliance on the investment advisor, potential conflicts of interest, payment of substantial fees to the investment advisor and the dealer manager, potential illiquidity, and liquidation at more or less than the original amount invested. Performance may be volatile, and the NAV may fluctuate. Diversification will not guarantee profitability or protection against loss.
DEFINITIONS: Correlation is a statistical measure of how two variables move in relation to each other with coefficients ranging from +1 to -1. A correlation coefficient of +1 implies that as one variable moves, the other will move in exact lockstep. Alternatively, a correlation coefficient of -1 implies that if one variable moves, the other moves in the same amount in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the movements of the variables are completely random.
