ITEM 7. TYPES OF CLIENTS Plexus Financial Services, LLC offers investment consulting/advisory services to employer-sponsored retirement Plans and other corporate entities. Our Clients generally consist of the Plan Sponsor (or to the extent the Plan Sponsor has delegated its investment authority to an investment committee), as the Responsible Plan Fiduciary on behalf of a Retirement Plan. ITEM 8. METHODS FOR ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, AND RISK OF LOSS METHODS FOR ANALYSIS In providing our investment consulting/advisory services, we review available quantitative data to analyze and screen the investment options within a Plan. The primary sources of information utilized by PFS include third party financial software, financial publications, annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Performance, expense and other data relating to specific funds is generally obtained through third-party databases or other software including Morningstar and Retirement Plan Advisory Group, Inc. (“RPAG”), and may be obtained through other reputable third-party vendors and sources. PFS applies a variety of criteria in choosing funds for each asset class, including historical returns, fee ratios, management tenure and several other criteria, the application of which may cause a recommended portfolio to be theoretically less efficient than it may have been had other fund recommendations been made. Additionally, PFS’s ability to match funds to asset classes for any given Plan is limited, potentially significantly, due to limitations in the number and/or types of funds offered in any particular Plan. Please note that general portfolio recommendations provided by PFS to a Client do not take into account investments and other assets held by any Plan Participant, individually, or outside of that Plan. We strongly urge Clients to direct Plan Participants to speak with a qualified investment professional to assist with their individual allocations and goals. Additionally, as PFS is reliant upon Plan Participants and other parties to provide updated Plan information, recommendations made by PFS may not always capture or include changes to a roster of funds offered in a given Plan if those changes are not properly communicated. TAX CONSIDERATIONS Plan Participants must consider the impact, if any, that an investment in or a distribution from a retirement account may have an impact on your tax situation. Potential tax consequences may exist. PFS does not provide tax advice and encourages you to consult with a tax professional with any specific questions. RISK OF LOSS & OTHER LIMITATIONS Investing in mutual funds and other investments involves risk, including the risk of a loss of principal, considered Principal Risk. There is no guarantee that PFS’s investment methodology will result in a positive investment return for any Client portfolio. We do not represent or guarantee that our services or methods of analysis can or will predict future results, successfully identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate Clients from losses due to market corrections or declines. We cannot offer any guarantees or promises that your financial goals and objectives will be met. Past performance is in no way an indication of future performance. Clients should never assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable. Investing in securities of any kind (including stocks, mutual funds, and bonds, etc.) involves risk of loss. Further, depending on the different types of investments there may be varying degrees of risk. You should be prepared to bear investment loss including loss of original principal. Because of the inherent risks associated with investing, PFS is unable to represent, guarantee, or even imply that our services and methods of analysis can or will predict future results or insulate Clients from losses due to market corrections or declines. Further, the Plan as well as the individual investment vehicles selected (as well as their specific underlying securities) may be subject to a variety of risk(s) including, but not limited to the following: Market Risk – is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to factors that affect the overall performance of the financial markets in which they may be involved. Market risk, also called "systematic risk," cannot be eliminated through diversification. Individual company stock is susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. Business Risk - When investing in stock positions, there is always a certain level of company or industry specific risk that is inherent in each investment. This is also referred to as unsystematic risk and may be reduced through appropriate diversification. Credit/Default Risk - When investing in bonds, there is the risk that the issuer will default on the bond and be unable to make payments. Inflation Risk - Investors who depend on set amounts of periodically paid income related to bonds or fixed annuities face the risk that inflation may erode their spending power. Fixed-income investments receive set, regular payments that face the same inflation risk. Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) and Mutual Fund Risk – When investing in an ETF or mutual fund, investors may bear additional expenses including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an ETF or mutual fund generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF or mutual fund holds. Cybersecurity Risks – With the increased use of technology to conduct business, the Firm and its affiliates are susceptible to operational, information security, and related risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional ... |
