Small Core SMA

Market Risk: The values of, and/or the income generated by, securities held by a strategy may decline due to general market conditions or other factors, including those directly involving the issuers of such securities. Securities markets are volatile and may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, regulatory, political, or economic developments. Different sectors of the market and different security types may react differently to such developments. Management Risk: Investment decisions, techniques, analyses or models implemented by a strategy’s manager or sub-adviser in seeking to achieve the strategy’s investment objective may not produce the returns expected, may cause the strategy’s shares to lose value or may cause the strategy to underperform other strategies with similar investment objectives. Smaller Company Securities Risk: Securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger companies.
