INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

Preservation of Capital. These types of investments generally run at the pace of inflation such as a money market or equivalent. Income. The primary characteristic of income oriented investments is that they generate periodic income for the client. An income oriented investor seeks regular and consistent returns on investments in the form of dividends and interest payments with little consideration given to capital appreciation. Types of investments in this category could include, but are not limited to, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, U.S. Treasury bonds/bills/notes, government agency bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations. Growth & Income. These types of investments may include but are not limited to preferred stocks, utility stocks, real estate investment trust stocks, fixed income unit investment trusts, bond mutual funds. If the investment is in high yield bonds, the account should indicate that speculation is allowed. Total return, also referred to as growth and income, seeks to combine both growth (capital appreciation) and income by investing in various types of securities and using various types of investment strategies. The structure of a growth and income portfolio is based on an investor’s individual needs and risk tolerances as well as a consideration of market conditions and trends. Growth. Growth refers to an increase in an investment’s value over time. This objective provides the potential for higher returns in exchange for volatility and an increased risk of loss of capital. Dividends and interest returns may be desirable but are not primary considerations. Investments in this category could include, but are not limited to, equities, equity mutual funds, equity sub-accounts of variable annuities and variable life contracts, real estate investment trusts, and limited partnerships. Speculation. These types of investments are the most risky in nature and generally provide the largest potential for price appreciation with the highest likelihood of volatility and total loss of investment capital. Securities in this category could include, but are not limited to, ordinary shares (i.e. shares of foreign corporations trading on their local exchange but not on any U.S. exchange), stocks trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets, Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), high yield or “junk” bonds, (bonds below investment grade), and oil and gas drilling programs. Trading. High volume transactions using speculative instruments.
