Help your clients see new investing opportunities with the Natixis Portfolio Playbook.
Why would I give up a sure 5% from money markets and CDs?

Why invest in stocks when markets are near all-time highs?
Waiting to buy the dip can be costly. The market may be setting record highs, but looking at the history of some of the largest stock market indexes, such as the S&P 500®, shows that record days are often followed by more record days, creating significant growth opportunities for investors.

Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.
Investing involves risk, including the risk of loss. Investment risk exists with equity, fixed income, and alternative investments. There is no assurance that any investment will meet its performance objectives or that losses will be avoided.
Before investing, consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Visit im.natixis.com or call 800-225-5478 for a prospectus or a summary prospectus containing this and other information. Read it carefully.
Indexes are not investments, do not incur fees and expenses, and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Unlike passive investments, there are no indexes that an active investment attempts to track or replicate. Thus, the ability of an active investment to achieve its objectives will depend on the effectiveness of the investment manager.
S&P 500® Index is a widely recognized measure of US stock market performance. It is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation, among other factors. It also measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the US equities market.
