Different types of investments and/or investment strategies involve varying levels of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific investment or investment strategy will be either suitable or profitable for a client's or prospective client's portfolio. Asset allocation and diversification concepts do not ensure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market.
Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, no current or prospective client should assume that future performance will be profitable, or be equal either to the performance results reflected or any corresponding historical index.
For reasons including platform provider and custodian utilized, as well as variances in portfolio account holdings, market fluctuation, the date on which a client engaged Sumnicht’s services, regular model rebalancing and/or updates, and timing of account contributions and withdrawals, the underlying fees of a specific client's account may vary from these estimates. iSectors® investment allocation models are only available through registered investment advisors, who will charge an additional fee for their advisory services. For information about the fees that pertain to your account, please check with your advisor.
iSectors® models are based on (a) index ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) that are designed to track their indexes, with the goal of neither outperforming nor underperforming their indexes and (b) actively managed ETFs and mutual funds that may outperform or underperform their benchmarks. We provide benchmark indexes that are well-known; indexes are provided for comparison purposes only.
This information is marketed to investment professionals. iSectors®, LLC has managed the asset allocation models since the firm’s inception in 2008. Previously, Sumnicht & Associates, LLC (Sumnicht), an affiliated company, managed the allocations. Sumnicht is a provider of investment management services for institutional, family office and individual clients. Sumnicht claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). Sumnicht claims that the allocations are GIPS® compliant since each allocation’s respective inception dates and have been GIPS® verified from 1/1/2008 to 12/31/2021, as of the verification date of 7/20/2022. The allocation composites include both institutional and individual client accounts whereby iSectors® has sole portfolio discretion with investment objectives matching that of each specific allocation. Performance in this publication is shown in US dollars, net of iSectors’® management fee, including the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect the impact of taxes.
