Investment Risks and Important Disclosure
This article discusses a range of potential economic scenarios that could arise if current geopolitical conditions persist or deteriorate. These scenarios, including those expressed in the present or future tense, are illustrative only and should not be viewed as predictive, promissory or guaranteed.
Relative to other sectors, precious metals and natural resources investments have higher headline risk and are more sensitive to changes in economic data, political or regulatory events, and underlying commodity price fluctuations. Risks related to extraction, storage and liquidity should also be considered.
Gold and precious metals are referred to with terms of art like "store of value," "safe haven" and "safe asset." These terms should not be construed to guarantee any form of investment safety. While “safe” assets like gold, Treasuries, money market funds and cash generally do not carry a high risk of loss relative to other asset classes, any asset may lose value, which may involve the complete loss of invested principal.
