Plans Based On Your Needs

Advocacy Wealth creates financial plans based on your needs, now and in the future. Your plan will be unique, just like your needs. The solutions offered to solve for your needs will be tailored to your plan. You will not pay extra for your planning—rather, the planning will drive the selection of investments, annuities or trusts for which Advocacy Wealth will be compensated. Your plan will be reviewed regularly for success in meeting your needs and modified as necessary over the course of our lifetime commitment to you.

All investments involve risks that you will lose value including the amount of your initial investment. Investments that offer the potential for higher rates of return generally involve greater risk of loss. Note: reinvestment transactions that involve selling existing investments may involve transaction costs associated with the sale of those assets as well as transaction costs associated with the purchase of new investments.

International investing: There are special risks associated with international investing, such as political changes and currency fluctuations. These risks are heightened in emerging markets.

Small/Mid-Capitalization investing: Investments in companies with small or mid-market capitalization ("small/mid-caps") may be subject to special risks given their characteristic narrow markets, limited financial resources, and less liquid stocks, all of which may cause price volatility.

High-Yield investing: Investments in high yielding debt securities are generally subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of loss of income and principal, than are investments in lower yielding debt securities.

Inflation Protected Bond investing: Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease. Increases in real interest rates can cause the price of inflation‐protected debt securities to decrease. Interest payments on inflation‐protected debt securities can be unpredictable.

Interest Rate Risk: This risk refers to the risk that bond prices decline as interest rates rise. Interest rates and bond prices tend to move in opposite directions. Long‐term bonds tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes and therefore may be more volatile.
