Why diversify? Because markets are unpredictable
Different types of investments react differently to market forces. As a result, today's asset class leader may be tomorrow's laggard. A diversified investment approach that includes a range of asset classes can help you pursue your long-term financial goals while managing the risks along the way.
There's no telling which asset class will be the best performing from year to year

A deeper level of diversification from a leader in multi-asset investing
- We believe diversification should extend beyond asset classes to include multiple investment styles and multiple managers.
- Our expertise in multi-asset investing dates back to 1995, with our first suite of portfolios employing multiple asset managers.
- Since then, we've been at the forefront of portfolio design, introducing a wide array of new and alternative strategies into our asset allocation portfolios to strengthen their diversification benefits for individual and institutional investors.
Diversification does not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risk of a loss.

The portfolio’s performance depends on the advisor’s skill in determining asset class allocations, the mix of underlying funds, and the performance of those underlying funds. The portfolio is subject to the same risks as the underlying funds and exchange-traded funds in which it invests: Stocks and bonds can decline due to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, or economic developments; foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability; the securities of small companies are subject to higher volatility than those of larger, more established companies; and high-yield bonds are subject to additional risks, such as increased risk of default. Liquidity—the extent to which a security may be sold or a derivative position closed without negatively affecting its market value, if at all—may be impaired by reduced trading volume, heightened volatility, rising interest rates, and other market conditions. Please see the portfolios’ prospectuses for additional risks. This material is not intended to be, nor shall it be interpreted or construed as, a recommendation or providing advice, impartial or otherwise.
