• Alternative investments are subject to significant risks and therefore, are not suitable for all investors. When considering alternative investments, you should consider various risks, including the fact that some products use leverage and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss, can be illiquid, are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, often charge high fees and in many cases, the underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the investment manager. With respect to alternative investments in general, you should be aware that returns from some alternative investments can be volatile and you may lose all or a portion of your investment.
