| Note 1: Indices used include the S&P500 Index and the Merrill Lynch 1-10 Year Treasury Index. | ||
| Note 2: All client portfolios are included in the Haven Wealth Group (HWG) Composite. Actual performance results for individual portfolios included in the HWG Composite may be higher or lower than the HWG Composite return as a result of differences in client investment objectives (i.e. income or growth oriented clients), in risk tolerances, in timing of cash contributions and withdrawals, and in account opening and closing dates from HWG. | ||
| Note 3: Performance results include reinvestment of dividend and other income, commission charges, and are net of investment management fees. | ||
| Note 4: Our clients have different investment objectives due to income requirements, moral considerations, tax considerations, and other factors which may alter the weightings in specific securities. As a result of the diverse nature of our client base, equity securities in the HWG Composite are managed with a view towards both capital appreciation and income generation. Our philosophy is that clients with similar investment objectives should own the same stocks with variances in specific client objectives addressed through asset allocation (i.e. the relative weightings of growth stocks, income producing stocks, bonds, and cash equivalents in each portfolio). Asset allocation is based on each client’s individual income requirements, time horizon, and risk tolerance. | ||
| Note 5: The performance reported represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. All investments involve risk and may result in loss of principal. Investment return and principal value of investments will fluctuate so that an individual investor’s portfolio return may deviate from the composite return. Investor’s portfolios, when liquidated, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. | ||
| Note 6: The volatility of the HWG Composite may be higher or lower than the equity indices shown above. The volatility of individual client portfolios may materially deviate from the HWG Composite and the equity indices shown above. | ||
| Note 7: Haven Wealth Group claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with GIPS standards. Haven Wealth Group performance returns have not been independently verified.
