The score reached by tabulating your answers is only a tool used by members of our Investment Committee in evaluating the suitability of various investments alternatives and determining investment allocations. The choice of which investment strategy or strategies you invest in may be influenced by other investments in your portfolios. I have answered the questions in the Investor Profile Questionnaire based on my current financial situation and needs. You should review your investments objectives, financial situation and needs with your Investment Consultant on a regular basis. Whenever my circumstances or investment attitude changes, I will contact my Investment Consultant to discuss what, if any, changes to my Investor Profile Questionnaire would be appropriate at such time. Circumstances that would trigger a reevaluation may include, but are not limited to: retirement, loss of employment, change in income, marriage, birth of a child or child entering college.
