An investor should discuss such matters with their advisors and/or counsel and make an independent evaluation and judgment with respect to such matters. Historical results should not and cannot be viewed as indicative of future performance. Performance will fluctuate with market conditions. The impact of changes of implied volatility, dividends (whether realized or anticipated), interest rate levels, the direction and magnitude of change of the underlying, the passage of time, as well as other factors, influence strategy performance. The impact of these factors varies due to the complex interrelated nature of the investments contained in a strategy. An investor should consider, amongst other things, a strategy’s investment objectives, risks, fees, and expenses carefully before investing. An investor is solely responsible for making an independent investigation of any strategy before investing. A strategy may lose money.
