A range of portfolios for every investor

Asset allocation, diversification, and rebalancing are all part of a goal-oriented investment strategy built on time-tested economic concepts. That’s the thinking behind Selective Portfolios. It’s a smarter approach to investing called Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) and it influences the approach we take to investment selection.

Whether you want to save for retirement, generate additional streams of income, or manage risk, there’s a Selective Portfolios model for you. See the quarterly performance of Selective Portfolios.

Before investing carefully consider the underlying funds’ objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. For a prospectus containing this and other important information about each fund, contact us at 888-310-7921. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

All investments involve risk, including loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing. Asset allocation and diversification do not eliminate the risk for experiencing investment losses.

The TD Ameritrade Investment Management ("TDAIM") Selective Managed Risk Portfolio is designed to use an absolute return strategy to limit volatility and provide protection against declines in the equity markets. The portfolio is generally invested in alternative strategy mutual funds. The mutual funds are subject to a variety of risks that include, but are not limited to, long-short equity, convertible arbitrage, merger arbitrage, and opportunistic high yield. The portfolio is not designed to outperform stocks and bonds in strong markets, and there is no guarantee of positive returns or that the portfolio’s objectives will be achieved.

The TDAIM Selective Supplemental Income Portfolios offer investment strategies designed to provide both income and total returns while limiting your exposure to volatility with a capital preservation strategy. Both the Conservative and Moderate portfolios are not cash, cash alternatives, or money market funds and should not be viewed as such. Both portfolios hold equity and bond mutual funds that have risks inherent to investing in these securities, including market and credit risk and possible loss of value.

TDAIM will assess an annual advisory fee based on the value of assets in your TD Ameritrade Investing Account ("TDAIA"). The fee will be assessed at the beginning of each quarter in advance for that quarter and will be prorated for accounts opened and closed during that quarter. TD Ameritrade, Inc. will not charge commissions for eligible securities trades placed in your TDAIA. All fees are subject to change.

Discretionary advisory services are provided for a fee by TD Ameritrade Investment Management, LLC (“TDAIM”), a registered investment advisor and subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation. For more information, including investment risks, please see the Disclosure Brochure (ADV Part 2).
