The goal of IMS is simple: to ethically serve you better and more completely, helping you honor the important promises you’ve made to yourself and to your loved ones. With investment flexibility and options, IMS is the solution that allows you to be in control. Whether you are focused on accumulating wealth or preserving it, the IMS platform has a solution for you. Investing in fixed-income securities involves credit and interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall.

The equity securities of small companies may not be traded as often as equity securities of large companies, so they may be difficult or impossible to sell.

International investing presents certain risks not associated with investing solely in the United States, such as currency, custodial, political and transparency risk.

Investing in emerging markets involves greater risk than investing in more established markets due to exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, and low market liquidity.

Investing in commodities may involve greater volatility and is not suitable for all investors.

Investing in a non-diversified fund that concentrates holdings into fewer securities or industries involves greater risk than investing in a more diversified fund. Neither asset allocation nor diversification assures a profit or protects against a loss in declining markets.

No investment strategy can guarantee success. It is possible to lose some or all of your investment.
