1. General disclosure. Nothing on our Sites should be construed as a solicitation or offer, or recommendation, to buy or sell any security. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Investing involves risk. Past performance is not a guarantee or indicative of future returns. The value of your investment will fluctuate, and you may gain or lose money. All charts, figures, and graphs are for illustrative purposes only. There can be no assurance that a hypothetical, or actual performance shown on the Sites will lead to the expected results shown or perform in any predictable manner.
2. Services. Our services range from financial planning to investment recommendations, including offering advice on the selection and management of securities, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs. We also assist with portfolio diversification and risk management. Please note, our advice is based on our understanding of market trends and general economic conditions; it does not guarantee any specific investment performance.
3. Past performance: Past performance information might be shared to provide insight into our investment strategies and decision-making process. However, past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment values will fluctuate as market conditions change. It is important to understand that all investment strategies, including those employed by our firm, could lead to the loss of your invested capital.
4. Portfolio analysis and Recommendations. The Portfolio Analysis, Portfolio Score, and Personalized Recommendations are intended to provide insight based on the net worth you have aggregated in the PortfolioPilot product and other information you have provided. Because there is no way to know all information about your finances or your personal situation, analyses may be incomplete or inaccurate. All insight provided represents a courtesy extended to you for educational purpose and you should not rely on this information as the primary basis of your investment, financial, or tax planning decisions. You should consult your legal or tax professional regarding your specific situation. Comparative analysis, including portfolio simulations and draft portfolios, is intended to illustrate hypothetical performance of various allocation strategies based on a long-term historical asset class performance and is not meant to imply actual performance or results. Some of the analysis does not include taxes or fees, which can have a material impact. It is not possible to invest without incurring expenses, which will lower the actual return.
5. Risks. Investments inherently carry risk, including the potential loss of all invested capital. This can occur as a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, market volatility, specific investment selection, and global economic conditions. While our team and portfolio management system uses a variety of strategies to manage risk, we cannot guarantee any specific investment results or that you will not experience loss in your investment account(s).
6. Simulations. The calculations in the Simulations tool are based solely on information provided by the user, data based on the accounts that users have aggregated in the PortfolioPilot product, historical market returns, and the assumptions shown or selected. Because there is no way to know all information about your finances or your personal situation, analysis may be incomplete or inaccurate. All insight provided represents a courtesy extended to you for illustrative purposes only and you should not rely on this information as the primary basis of your investment, financial, or tax planning decisions. No representations, warranties, or guarantees are made as to the accuracy of any estimates or calculations. Global Predictions is not liable for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way connected with your use of these simulations. The information provided in Simulations does not serve, either directly or indirectly, as legal, financial, or tax advice and you should always consult a qualified professional legal, financial, and tax advisor for your specific situation.

The tax implications of the tax-loss harvesting strategies are intricate and uncertain and may be questioned by the IRS.

Clients should consult with their personal tax advisors regarding the tax implications of using the PortfolioPilot tax-loss harvesting tool, according to their individual situations.
