Important Disclosures
1As of 12/31/22, the 10 year average standard deviation of returns for the S&P 500 Index was 17% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index was 9%. We expect equities to continue to exhibit higher volatility compared to high yield bonds. Standard deviation measures the dispersion of a dataset relative to its mean (average) and is often used as a measure of relative risk of an asset. A high standard deviation indicates a more volatile security. The ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated, below investment grade-rated corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market.

There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise. Fixed income investments are also subject to credit risk, the risk that the issuer of a bond will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that bond to decline. Investing in mortgage- and asset-backed securities involves interest rate, credit, valuation, extension and liquidity risks and the risk that payments on the underlying assets are delayed, prepaid, subordinated or defaulted on.
