Tax/Legal Disclosure

UBS Financial Services Inc. and its affiliates do not provide legal or tax advice. Clients should consult with their legal and tax advisors regarding their personal circumstances.

Asset Allocation

Asset allocation neither assures a profit nor protects against loss in declining markets.

CDs

CDs issued by FDIC–insured institutions are generally eligible for FDIC insurance. For more information regarding FDIC coverage, please visit www.fdic.gov.

Dividend Paying Stocks

Investing in dividend paying stocks involves risks. Companies cannot assure or guarantee a certain rate of return or dividend yield; they can increase, decrease or totally eliminate their dividends without notice. A fund's investment return and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions, and it is possible to lose money.

Equity Risk

The value of investments in equity securities will fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and to changes in the prospects of particular companies and/or sectors in the economy.

Fixed Income Risk

The value of a portfolio will fluctuate based on the value of the underlying securities. Two main risks related to fixed income investing are interest rate risk and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in the market value of bonds. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of the bond will not be able to make principal and interest payments.

International Securities Risk

The value of a portfolio will fluctuate based on the value of the underlying securities. Foreign investing involves risks, including risks related to foreign currency, limited liquidity, less government regulation and the possibility of substantial volatility due to adverse political, economic or other developments.

Municipals

Municipal securities are subject to the risk that legislative changes and local and business developments may adversely affect the yield or value of the strategy’s investments in such securities. An investment in any municipal portfolio should be made with an understanding of the risks involved in investing in municipal bonds; such as interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The value of the portfolio will fluctuate based on the value of the underlying securities. Clients should contact their tax advisor regarding the suitability of tax-exempt investments in their portfolio. If sold prior to maturity, municipal securities are subject to gain/losses based on the level of interest rates, market conditions and the credit quality of the issuer. Income may be subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT) and/or state and local taxes, based on state of residence.

529 Plans

All 529 Plan provisions, including plan minimums, fees, expenses, requirements, features and benefits vary by state. 529 plans are sold with program descriptions that contain details of the risks, fees and charges associated with the particular investment which you should read carefully before investing. Even though individuals are not required to invest in their in-state plan, some states do provide tax or other advantages exclusively to residents who invest in their own state’s plan. For example, many states offer a state income tax deduction for contributions and/or state income tax exemption for qualified withdrawals. States may impose state tax liability on withdrawals and/or earnings from out-of-state 529 plans. In addition, some states offer prepaid tuition plans. You should carefully review this with your tax advisor before deciding on a 529 plan. Neither UBS Financial Services Inc. nor any of its employees provide tax or legal advice. The tax implications of a 529 Plan should be discussed with your legal and/or tax advisors. Money Market Fund Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

Mutual Funds

Mutual funds are sold by prospectus. For more complete information about a fund, including the investment objectives, charges, expenses and risk factors, contact your Financial Advisor for a prospectus. The prospectus contains this and other important information that you should read carefully before investing. Investors should be aware that the value of mutual funds changes from day to day. Therefore, an investment's return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
