Investment Risks and Disclaimers
IMPORTANT INVESTMENT DISCLOSURES: Investments in small cap funds involve significant risks and are suitable only for sophisticated investors who can bear the loss of their entire investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results. There is no guarantee of returns, and investments may lose value due to market volatility, economic conditions, company-specific risks, liquidity issues, or other factors.
We do not provide personalized investment advice, recommendations, or endorsements through the Site. Any performance data displayed is historical and provided for illustrative purposes only; it does not guarantee future performance and may not reflect all fees or expenses. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations and do not represent actual trading.
The Site may contain forward-looking statements based on current expectations, but actual results may differ materially. We disclaim any obligation to update such statements.
We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of third-party information linked or referenced on the Site. Links to external sites do not imply endorsement, and we are not liable for any content, products, or services on those sites.
In compliance with SEC rules (including Rule 206(4)-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940), all information on the Site is fair, balanced, and not misleading. Testimonials, if any, will disclose whether the endorser is a client, any compensation provided, and potential conflicts of interest. We do not cherry-pick testimonials or remove negative reviews.
Under Minnesota securities laws, all offerings must comply with registration or exemption requirements (Minn. Stat. § 80A.49). Any securities offered are federal covered securities or registered as required.
NO GUARANTEES: There are no assurances that any investment will achieve its objectives or that you will recover your principal. Small cap investments are illiquid and may be difficult to sell.
