Asset allocation is the process of developing a diversified investment portfolio by combining different asset classes in varying proportions. Many financial experts agree that finding the right mix of investments is a key factor to successful investing. Because the prices of stocks and bonds often react differently to economic and market changes, diversifying your investment portfolio among stocks, bonds, and short-term investments or cash can expose your investments to additional opportunities that have the potential to enhance your returns and help reduce your overall investment risk.

Based on your goals, time frame, tolerance for risk, tax situation, and other factors, your investment professional can help you create a portfolio of investments that is in your best interest. By combining the various unit investment trusts which are presented in this report, investors can achieve diversification of their investment portfolio. As time passes, you and your investment professional will want to review the mix of your investments to ensure that it is still in your best interest. It is our intent that this report can be used to help with this review.

General Risk Considerations There is no assurance an unmanaged unit investment trust will achieve its investment objective(s). An investment in a unit investment trust is subject to market risk. Market risk is the risk that a particular security owned by a trust may fall in value. Additionally, the value of the securities held by a trust may be subject to steep declines or increased volatility due to changes in performance or perception of the issuers.

See Additional Risk Considerations at the end of this report for risks specific to each trust included herein.

UITs enable investors to own a basket of securities with one single purchase, rather than trying to select individual securities that meet their objectives. UITs are designed to fill a variety of investment needs and risk tolerance levels and may be appropriate for a variety of reasons such as liquidity, and diversification.

UITs offer many features found in other packaged products but with two major differences – a defined portfolio and a defined horizon. Unlike actively managed funds that continually buy and sell securities, thereby changing their investment mix, the securities held in a UIT generally remain fixed until the trust terminates. Because the portfolio is fixed, UITs maintain a buy and hold discipline, encouraging investors to stay true to their investment strategy and avoid the pitfalls of emotional investing. This buy and hold approach, however, does not mean buy and ignore. Investors should meet with their financial professional periodically to evaluate investments and ensure that they are still in-line with goals.
