Online trading has inherent risk due to system response, execution price, speed, liquidity, market data and access times that may vary due to market conditions, system performance, market volatility, size and type of order and other factors. An investor should understand these and additional risks before trading.

The information provided is not warranted as to completeness or accuracy and is subject to change without notice. The information provided should not be considered legal or tax advice. Consult an attorney or tax professional regarding your specific situation. The projections or other information regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, are not guaranteed for accuracy or completeness, do not reflect actual investment results and are not guarantees of future results.
All investments involve risk, losses may exceed the principal invested, and the past performance of a security, industry, sector, market, or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. Consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of a fund before investing. Contact us for a prospectus containing this information.
Please remember that diversification is not an investment strategy without risk, and in certain circumstances, it may not fit your investment objectives. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Certain services (“Services”) offered through our mobile app are offered only in jurisdictions where it is legal to do so. The availability of the Services over the Internet is not a solicitation for or offering of the Services to any person in any jurisdiction where such solicitation or offering is illegal. We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Services to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion. We make no representation that the Services are appropriate or available for use in locations outside of United States, or that accessing our mobile app is legally permitted in countries or territories where the Services may be illegal. If you access the Services from other locations, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with local laws. In particular, we are not authorized by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) to offer securities distribution services to investors who reside, are domiciled or incorporated in the Federative Republic of Brazil. The Services are not specifically directed to investors who reside, are domiciled or incorporated in the Federative Republic of Brazil and should not be understood as an offer of services directed to such investors.
According to CVM's Legal Opinion No. 33, dated September 30, 2005, Passfolio contracted RB Capital Investimentos Distribuidora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários Ltda. ("RB Investimentos"), a Brazilian securities distributor duly authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil and the CVM, through which RB Investimentos makes Passfolio's services available to investors resident, domiciled or incorporated in the Federative Republic of Brazil. The services provided by RB Investimentos should not be understood as an offering of securities directed to such investors. Although RB Investimentos has been hired to provide Passfolio's services, Passfolio offers its services exclusively in the United States and under the rules and regulations applicable in that country. As these services are investments made directly in the United States through Passfolio, they are not registered with or subject to the supervision of the CVM or any other Brazilian regulatory agency, so the investor must have knowledge of the language and local regulation. Investors resident, domiciled or incorporated in the Federative Republic of Brazil who have become or will become clients of Passfolio through RB Investimentos may contact the following e-mail addresses: suporte@passfolio.us / contato@rbinvestimentos.com
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of an Exchange Traded Fund ("ETF") carefully before investing. Before investing in any ETF, you should consider its investment objective, risks, charges and expenses. Contact us at support@passfolio.us for a prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully. ETFs are subject to market fluctuation and the risks of their underlying investments. ETFs are subject to management fees and other expenses. ETF shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than their NAV, and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of stocks. Some specialized exchange-traded funds can be subject to additional market risks. Leveraged and inverse exchange-traded products are not designed for buy and hold investors or investors who do not intend to manage their investment on a daily basis. These products are for sophisticated investors who understand their risks (including the effect of daily compounding of leveraged investment results), and who intend to actively monitor and manage their investments on a daily basis.
Be sure to consider your own financial situation, perform thorough research, and consult with a qualified tax professional before making any investment decisions concerning REITs. Investments in REITs and other real estate securities are subject to similar risks as direct investments in real estate. The real estate industry is particularly sensitive to economic downturns.
Where an investment is denominated in a currency other than the investor’s currency, changes in rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value, price of, or income derived from the investment.
