Risk Considerations: All investments are subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. Investing in private companies involves greater risk than investing in stocks or bonds of established publicly traded companies. Risks include potential loss of capital, illiquidity, less available information and difficulty in valuating private companies. Investments in real assets companies related to real estate, infrastructure and other real assets are more susceptible to adverse developments affecting one or more of these industries than a more broadly diversified investment would be and may perform poorly during a downturn in any of those industries. Diversification cannot assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
