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 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 TD Ameritrade Investment Management 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.
