Advanced Equities Wealth Management

Today, domestic and foreign markets are approached with a spectrum of investment strategies, each inherent with varying degrees of risk and return. In our opinion, the key to finding financial success is identifying a plan that suits your unique investment profile, and then building and managing the appropriate portfolio to best meet your investment objectives.

Yet, if you're like most busy professionals, your schedule is already overloaded, leaving little time to monitor the market, let alone actively manage your investments. Until now, you've probably relied on advice from valued colleagues, "hot" stock tips from brokers and your own instincts. But, what methods and measures have you implemented that may potentially allow you to:

• Seek maximum return on your investments?
• Avoid uncompensated risk?
• Minimize tax implications today and during retirement?

Integrated Financial Planning

Advanced Equities Wealth Management’s (AEWM) balanced planning platform includes a variety of investment programs that seek to maximize your return while mitigating risk to your retirement savings. AEWM follows a Nobel Prize-winning asset allocation methodology that strategically and systematically diversifies your portfolio. And now, we believe our investment management team has taken the concept of Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) a step further, adding a level of active management. [NOTE: There is no certainty that any investment strategy or theory will be successful in obtaining your financial objectives.]

An exclusive investment program offered by Advanced Equities Asset Management (AEAM), ETF Select seeks to capitalize on sophisticated quantitative analysis, a rigorous investment framework, disciplined asset class selection and long-term economic trending. AEAM also utilizes tax-efficient instruments and applies tax-managed techniques that may potentially mitigate the income tax impact on clients' investment accounts.

Sophisticated Investment Management

AEAM's in-house quantitative infrastructure consists of a team of some of the industry's leading professionals who have managed money and consulted for some of the country's most prominent institutional investors, including mutual fund families and university endowments. However, quantitative analysis is not an end unto itself. Rather it simplifies, organizes and informs the investment process. From there, AEAM's team of portfolio managers applies their knowledge and experience in making what we believe to be strategic judgments that could possibly add incremental value. Best of all, Advanced Equities Wealth Management Advisors and clients have the opportunity to interact directly with AEAM's portfolio managers on a regular basis through on-site visits, teleconferences and publications.

Because Advanced Equities Wealth Management is committed to delivering a well-balanced offering to suit a variety of investment objectives, you also have access to the management techniques, funds and portfolio products of some of the industry's leading investment houses. AEWM's relationship with third-party money managers provides clients with a broad range of managed account and mutual fund programs that bring together years of asset management expertise.

Important Information

An investor should carefully consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expense before investing.

Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

There is no certainty that any investment or strategy will be profitable or successful in achieving investment objectives.

Exchange traded funds are subject to risks similar to those of stocks. Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

There are unique potential risks associated with the specific asset classes that each ETF represents. Investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing in narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. REIT investments are subject to changes in economic conditions, credit risk and interest rate fluctuations. Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. Commodities markets have historically been extremely volatile. Inverse funds should lose money when their benchmark indexes rise—a result that is opposite from traditional mutual funds. Inverse funds also entail certain risks, including inverse correlation, leverage, market price variance and short sales risks.

Investments in foreign investments may incur greater risks than domestic investments. International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risk related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume.
