Risk Information
There are risks associated with dividend investing, including that dividend-issuing companies may choose not to pay a dividend, may not have the ability to pay, or the dividend may be less than what is anticipated. Dividend-issuing companies are subject to interest rate risk and high dividends can sometimes signal that a company is in distress. Historically, dividend yields have been relatively constant and therefore have created a cushion for investors when stock prices have declined. However, as with all equity investing, there is the risk that a company will not achieve its expected earnings results, or that an unexpected change in the market or within the company will occur, both of which may adversely affect investment results.

Equity Income investing is based upon the identification of large-cap companies with growing dividends. There is the risk that a company will not achieve its expected earnings results, or that an unexpected change in the market or within the company will occur, both of which may adversely affect investment results. Dividends are not guaranteed, must be authorized by the company’s board of directors, and will fluctuate.

Core Growth Portfolio investing is based on selecting companies with sustainable earnings growth above the S&P 500. There is a risk the companies may fail to meet that expectation and their stock price may decline. Moreover, as with all equity investing, there is the risk that an unexpected change in the market or within the company itself may have an adverse effect on its stock. Investing in growth-oriented stocks involves potentially higher volatility and risk than investing in income-generating stocks.

Index Definitions
The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index is based on the average performance of 500 widely held common stocks. The S&P 500® is a broad-based measurement of changes in stock market conditions. It is a capitalization-weighted index, calculated on a total return basis with dividends reinvested. Indices are unmanaged, and one cannot invest directly in an index.
