Investors should be aware of the risks associated with data sources and quantitative processes used in our investment management process.

Certain performance information presented represents simulated performance. Certain performance information presented represents performance based on combined simulated index data (pre-index launch) and live index data (post-index launch). Indexes are unmanaged and cannot be invested in directly. Past simulated performance is no guarantee of future performance and does not represent actual performance of an investment product based on the index. No allowance has been made for trading costs, management fees, or other costs associated with asset management, as the information provided relates only to the index itself. Actual investment results may differ. As such, the simulated data may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors. Simulated returns may not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on the advisor's decision making if the advisor were actually managing clients' money. Simulated data is subject to the fact that it is designed with the benefit of hindsight. Simulated returns carry the risk that the performance depicted is not due to successful predictive modeling. Simulated returns cannot predict how an investment strategy will perform in the future. Simulated returns should not be considered indicative of the skill of the advisor. Investors may experience loss. Any information and data pertaining to an index contained in this document relate only to the index itself and not to any asset management product based on the index.
