All securities investing and trading activities risk the loss of capital. Each portfolio is subject to substantial risks including market risks, strategy risks, advisor risk, and risks with respect to its investment in other structures. There can be no assurance that any portfolio investment objectives will be achieved, or that any investment will achieve profits or avoid incurring substantial losses.

Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI refers to computational systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as pattern recognition, decision-making, and prediction. In investment management, AI may be used to support portfolio construction, risk assessment, and trading strategies. Machine Learning (ML): ML is a subset of AI that enables systems to identify patterns based on data inputs without being explicitly programmed. ML models may be used in stock selection to identify investment opportunities based on historical and real-time data. Natural Language Processing (NLP): NLP is a field of AI focused on the interpretation and generation of human language by machines. In financial contexts, NLP may be applied to analyze textual data such as earnings reports to inform investment decisions.  Large Language Models (LLMs): LLMs are advanced NLP systems trained on extensive datasets to understand and generate human-like text. In investment management, LLMs may assist in synthesizing qualitative information or generating insights, but do not independently make investment decisions.
