Capital at Risk

01

Investment Risks

Investing involves substantial risk of loss. You should carefully consider whether investing is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources.

  • You may lose some or all of your invested capital
  • Past performance is not indicative of future results
  • Market volatility can result in significant losses
  • Diversification does not guarantee against loss
  • Systematic strategies may underperform in certain market conditions
  • Rebalancing may trigger taxable events
02

Behavioral Cost Disclaimer

The "behavioral cost" figures presented in the Framework (including the 8.2% average) are based on academic research and industry studies regarding the impact of emotional decision-making on investment returns. These figures are illustrative estimates and may not reflect your actual experience. Individual results will vary significantly based on market conditions, investment timing, and personal circumstances.

03

Volatility Harvesting Risks

The "volatility harvesting" concept presented in the Portfolio Drift Simulator is an educational illustration of systematic rebalancing principles. Actual rebalancing results depend on market conditions, transaction costs, tax implications, and timing. There is no guarantee that systematic rebalancing will improve returns or reduce losses in any given market environment.
