The Importance of Proper Diversification
Source: Morningstar. Data as of 12/31/2021. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Each index reflects a group of unmanaged securities. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. Unless otherwise noted, index returns reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains, if any, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses of investing. Diversification, rebalancing and dollar cost averaging are investment strategies that cannot ensure a profit or eliminate the risks of investing.
