Risk (Standard Deviation of Return)

An efficient frontier represents every possible combination of assets that maximizes return at each level of portfolio risk and minimizes risk at each level of portfolio return.
The above illustration depicts the typical relationship between risk and return. Generally, investors are expected to be compensated in returns for assuming higher levels of risk.

Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. Standard deviation measures the fluctuation of
34 returns around the arithmetic average return of the investment. The higher the standard deviation, the greater the
variability (and the risk) of the investment returns.
INVESTMENT PROCESS ASSET CLASSES
We employ a variety of asset classes to help balance risk.

DISCLOSURES

 Investing in small-cap stocks generally involves greater risks and, therefore, may not be
appropriate for every investor.
 U.S. government bonds and Treasury bills are guaranteed by the U.S. government and, if
held to maturity, offer a fixed rate of return and guaranteed principal value. U.S.
government bonds are issued and guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and
interest by the federal government. Treasury bills are certificates reflecting short-term
(less than one year) obligations of the U.S. government.
 Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.
 Standard deviation measures the fluctuation of returns around the arithmetic average
return of investment. The higher the standard deviation, the greater the variability (and
thus risk) of the investment returns.
 Holding stocks for the long-term does not insure a profitable outcome. Investing in stocks
always involves risk, including the possibility of losing one’s entire investment.
 There is an inverse relationship between interest rate movements and bond prices.
Generally, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall and when interest rates fall, bond
prices rise.

James & Associates, Inc., member New York Stock Exchange/SIPC • 2011 Raymond James Financial Services, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC
DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)

 High-yield (below investment grade) bonds are not suitable for all investors. The risk of default may
increase due to changes in the issuer’s credit quality. Price changes may occur due to changes in
interest rates and the liquidity of the bond. When appropriate, these bonds should only comprise a
modest portion of your portfolio.

 Municipal bond interest is not subject to federal income tax but may be subject to AMT, state or local
taxes. Income from taxable municipal bonds is subject to federal income taxation; and it may be
subject to state and local taxes. Municipal securities typically provide a lower yield than comparably
rated taxable investments in consideration of their tax-advantaged status. Investments in municipal
securities may not be appropriate for all investors, particularly those who do not stand to benefit from
the tax status of the investment. Please consult an income tax professional to assess the impact of
holding such securities on your tax liability.

 Commodities trading is generally considered speculative because of the significant potential for
investment loss. Commodities and precious metals are volatile investments and should only form a
small part of a diversified portfolio. Their markets are likely to be volatile and there may be sharp price
fluctuations even during periods when prices overall are rising.

DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)

 Investing in small-cap stocks generally involves greater risks and, therefore, may not be appropriate
for every investor.

 International investing involves special risks, including currency fluctuations, different financial
accounting standards, and possible political and economic volatility.

 U.S. government bonds and Treasury bills are guaranteed by the U.S. government and, if held to
maturity, offer a fixed rate of return and guaranteed principal value. U.S. government bonds are
issued and guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by the federal government.
Treasury bills are certificates reflecting short-term (less than one year) obligations of the U.S.
government.

 Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.
