  • Risks: Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. The risk is actually greater for longer term debt securities. Investment in lower-rated and nonrated securities presents a greater risk of loss of principle and interest than higher-rated securities. Investments exposed to credit risk where lower-rated securities have a higher risk of defaulting on obligations. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks. They may also have different accounting methods. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.
