In the LPL Financial Model Wealth Portfolios (MWP) Program, LPL Financial Overlay Portfolio Management Group is the client’s investment manager and implements trades for the client’s account based on the model portfolio investment recommendations it receives from AllianceBernstein Investments, Inc. (ABI). LPL Financial may select investments for a client’s account that differ from ABI’s model recommendations. Securities offered through LPL Financial, a Registered Investment Advisor, Member FINRA/SIPC.

This material is for general information only and is not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations for any individual. To the extent you are receiving investment advice from a separately registered independent investment advisor, please note that LPL Financial LLC is not an affiliate of and makes no representation with respect to such entity. LPL Financial and AllianceBernstein are not affiliates of each other and make no representation with respect to each other.

There is no assurance that a separately managed account will achieve its investment objective. Separately managed accounts are subject to market risk: the market values of securities owned will fluctuate so that your investment, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than its original cost.

A WORD ABOUT RISKMarket Risk: The market values of the portfolio’s holdings rise and fall from day to day, so investments may lose value. Foreign (non-US) Risk: Non-US securities may be more volatile because of the political, regulatory, market and economic uncertainties associated with such securities. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may negatively affect the value of the investment or reduce returns. These risks are magnified in emerging or developing markets. Interest-Rate Risk: As interest rates rise, bond prices fall and vice versa—long-term securities tend to rise and fall more than short-term securities. Diversification Risk: Portfolios that hold a smaller number of securities may be more volatile than more diversified portfolios, since gains or losses from each security will have a greater impact on the portfolio’s overall value. Credit Risk: A bond’s credit rating reflects the issuer’s ability to make timely payments of interest or principal—the lower the rating, the higher the risk of default. If the issuer’s financial strength deteriorates, the issuer’s rating may be lowered and the bond’s value may decline. Leverage Risk: Trying to enhance investment returns by borrowing money or using other leverage tools magnifies both gains and losses, resulting in greater volatility. Derivatives Risk: Derivative instruments such as options, futures, forwards or swaps can be riskier than traditional investments, and may be more volatile, especially in a down market. Below-Investment-Grade Securities Risk: Investments in fixed-income securities with lower ratings (commonly known as “junk bonds”) tend to have a higher probability that an issuer will default or fail to meet its payment obligations. Real Estate Risk: Investments in real estate can decline due to a variety of factors affecting the real estate market, such as economic conditions, mortgage rates and availability. REITs may have additional risks due to limited diversification and the impact of tax law changes. Commodity Risk: Commodity-linked investments may experience greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by financial factors, political developments and natural disasters. ETF Risk: Investments in ETFs bear the share of the ETF’s expenses and run the risk that the ETF may not achieve its investment objective. Asset-Allocation Risk: Diversification and asset allocation may not protect against market risk. All investments have inherent risks, and investors may experience a loss. Sector Risk: Investing a significant portion of assets in any one sector may cause a fund to be more volatile, as securities within a specific sector can be prone to regulatory action, be more sensitive to interest-rate fluctuations, and be the target of increased competition. Alternative Investment Risk: An alternative investment is subject to a number of risks and is not suitable for all investors. Investing in alternative investments is only intended for experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the high economic risk associated with such an investment.
