Performance
Past performance is not indicative of future results and may reflect returns achieved during specific periods or under exceptional market conditions. All investments involve risk, including the potential loss of principal. No investment strategy, asset allocation, or use of a referred partner adviser guarantees improved performance or intended outcomes. Actual results will vary among investors due to differences in fees, trading activity, portfolio decisions, and individual circumstances. Diversification and investment selection do not ensure better performance or reduced risk. Any performance data presented is current as of the date(s) indicated and may fluctuate.
This material may include forward-looking statements, which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties – actual outcomes may differ materially. References to indices are for illustrative and comparison purposes only; indices are unmanaged, not investable, and do not reflect fees or specific portfolio or investment product’s composition, objectives, or results. Projected or hypothetical performance is based on historical data and assumptions, including average returns and standard deviations. These projections do not represent actual accounts or transactions and do not account for taxes, changes in risk tolerance, or future investment decisions. They are presented with the benefit of hindsight and may not reflect the impact of significant economic or market events. There is no guarantee that such performance will be replicated or that it accurately represents the investor experience. Prospective investors should understand that both gains and losses are possible, and hypothetical results may not fully capture the risks or variability of real-world investing. Any testimonials or endorsements provided regarding performance or otherwise are not necessarily representative of the views or experiences of all individuals. These individuals may or may not ultimately become clients of the referred partner advisers. WorthNet does not provide compensation for any testimonials or endorsements themselves.
Risk Disclosure
Investing involves substantial risk, including the potential loss of all or part of the invested capital. No investment strategy can guarantee a profit or protect against loss during periods of market decline. Each investor’s financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon are unique. An investment that may be appropriate for one individual may be unsuitable for another. Investment products vary significantly in complexity, liquidity, volatility, and regulatory oversight, and each may carry distinct disclosure requirements.
This general disclosure is not a substitute for reviewing the official offering documents or disclosures associated with a particular investment. Accordingly, no investment strategy or product should be pursued without careful consideration. Prospective investors utilizing the Service who are considering becoming clients of any referred partner adviser should fully understand the risks involved and are strongly encouraged to review the partner adviser’s Form ADV Part 2A disclosure brochure and any relevant offering documents to gain insight into both common and specific marketplace risks that could affect their portfolios. Before taking any action based on analysis, advice, or recommendations, investors should always ensure they have a comprehensive understanding of the structure, risks, and costs associated with the securities product under consideration. This includes, but is not limited to, all applicable fees, commissions, expenses, and the potential for loss of principal. Investment decisions should be based on an investor’s thorough due diligence, financial goals, risk tolerance, and personal circumstances.
This communication is intended only for individuals with sufficient knowledge and experience to evaluate the information presented and its relevance to their financial circumstances. The information provided herein does not constitute legal, tax, real estate, or individualized investment advice, nor does it represent a solicitation to buy or sell any security. Investors are strongly encouraged to consult with their legal, tax, and other financial advisors as appropriate for their situation to conduct proper due diligence and assess the suitability of the investment risk relative to their circumstances before making investment decisions.
Tax Disclosures
Investors are strongly encouraged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the tax implications of any investments. Clients and their tax advisors are solely responsible for ensuring that all transactions conducted within any investment account(s) they may choose to open with their referred partner adviser are properly reported to the IRS or any other relevant tax authorities on their personal tax returns. WorthNet assumes no responsibility for any tax consequences arising from client transactions.
