The Mutual Fund Store® is a nationwide system of registered investment advisers. Each store can offer investment advisory services to prospective and existing clients in the state where the store is located, while a number of stores may also offer advisory services in nearby or other states. The advisor may not transact business in states where it is not appropriately registered, excluded or exempted from registration.

Smart401k® is a registered investment adviser which provides independent investment recommendations for employer-sponsored retirement plans. Smart401k is under common ownership with The Mutual Fund Store. The Mutual Fund Store and Smart401k are separate but affi liated companies. They are not responsible for each other’s services or policies. Each entity is its own separate entity that provides services for its client independent from the other. Prospects or clients may directly retain the services of The Mutual Fund Store.

The “Research Center,” as referenced throughout this fl yer is the Mutual Fund Research Center, LLC which is an SEC registered investment adviser which provides asset allocation, mutual fund and/or exchange-traded fund recommendations, as well as market and economic research to each Store in The Mutual Fund Store organization and their advisors. This includes the Store that provides you with advisory services. The Mutual Fund Store advisors provide independent, fee-based, investment advisory and asset management services, which include developing and implementing customized portfolios for clients based on their unique fi nancial situation and ability to tolerate risk associated with investments in securities.

Investing in securities, including mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds, involves risk including the risk of loss. While a diversifi ed portfolio of securities may help to reduce overall risk, diversifi cation does not protect against losses in declining markets. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, and expenses of a fund carefully before investing. Before investing in a mutual fund and/or exchange-traded fund, request and review the fund’s prospectus or consult with a professional fee-based fi nancial advisor.
