Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of principal.

Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

Commodities investing entail significant risk as commodity prices can be extremely volatile due to wide range of factors. A few such factors include overall market movements, real or perceived inflationary trends, commodity index volatility, international, economic and political changes, change in interest and currency exchange rates.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Assets may be considered "safe havens" based on investor perception that an asset's value will hold steady or climb even as the value of other investments drops during times of economic stress. Perceived safe-haven assets are not guaranteed to maintain value at any time.
