Advice Matters

Obtaining good advice can help you make better decisions.

It can help you avoid mistakes, turn challenges into opportunities and solve problems. Financial advisors provide convenient access, counsel and guidance to help investors grow their financial assets and play an important role in helping you develop greater savings discipline.

Mutual Funds Matter

Mutual funds provide easy access to innovative solutions managed by highly trained investment professionals, while protecting investor interests. They can fulfill the needs of any investor portfolio, from the smallest investment accounts to the most affluent households.

When you purchase a mutual fund, you also buy, the financial know-how and expertise of the portfolio manager. Managers who use an active management philosophy invest in a manner that is different from an index or benchmark, with the goal of outperforming the benchmark. An actively managed fund can provide substantial value and help differentiate investor portfolios.
