This table illustrates the returns of various indices to demonstrate the importance of owning a diversified portfolio. Diversification does not assure a profit nor does it protect against loss of principal. The returns include dividend reinvestments but exclude the impact of management fees and trading costs. Past performance is no assurance of future performance.

An ETF or mutual fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the indices. These indices are not available for direct investment; therefore, their performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk. It should not be assumed that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable.
