Disclosures/Award Criteria: Informa's quarterly ranking recognizes the top ten performers - before fees - within various asset peer groups, e.g. equity, fixed income, municipals, etc. The awards may not be representative of any one client's experience with Financial Trust Asset Management and should not be viewed as indicative of future performance. Any selection to receive the awards and/or rankings may have been based on a limited universe of participants, and therefore there can be no assurance that a different sampling of participants might not achieve different results. In order to use these awards and recognitions in this and other materials, Financial Trust Asset Management has not provided PSN with compensation for such use. Utilizing a proprietary blend of Informa Investment Solutions' top priority performance screens, PSN Top Guns ranks products in six proprietary star categories. PSN Top Guns investment managers must claim compliance with GIPS. The risks associated with investing in fixed income include risks related to interest rate movements as the price of these securities will decrease as interest rates rise (interest rate risk and reinvestment risk), the risk of credit quality deterioration which is an issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments on time (credit or default risk), and liquidity risk (the risk of not being able to buy or sell investments quickly for a price that is close to the true underlying value of the asset). Strategies that invest in lower-rated debt securities (commonly referred to as high yield or junk bonds) involve additional risks because of the lower credit quality of the securities in the portfolio. The investor should be aware of the possible higher level of volatility, and increased risk of default. Investing involves varying degrees of risk dependent on the asset classes involved and can include the loss of principal.
