- This tool offers investment asset allocation guidance that considers an investor’s risk tolerance, time horizon, and goals, but is not a substitute for a comprehensive analysis by a licensed investment professional.
- The asset allocation recommendations are designed to lie within specific risk/return regions along the efficient frontier. The frontier is found through a mean-variance optimization. The return component of the optimization features internally generated 10-year annual return projections for the included asset classes. Historical asset class monthly standard deviations and covariances comprise the variance portion of the optimization.
- The asset classes considered include large cap equities, small cap equities, international equities, as well as government and investment grade corporate bonds. The tool does not consider asset classes for which the advisor does not offer investment products. Other investments not considered may have characteristics similar or superior to those being analyzed.
- The projections or other information generated by the Asset Allocation Calculator for Entities regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results and are not guarantees of future results. Results may vary with each use and over time.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Some mutual funds have more risk than others. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate and shares when sold may be worth more or less than the original cost. Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk, and their value will decline as interest rates rise. Asset allocation and diversification do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. There is no guarantee a Fund's objectives will be achieved. The risks associated with each fund are explained more fully in each fund's respective prospectus. Investors should consult with their attorney, accountant, and/or tax professional for advice concerning their particular situation.
Mutual Funds are not insured by the FDIC or any other federal government agency, may lose value, and are not a deposit of or guaranteed by any bank or any bank affiliate.
