The good news is there are several ways to help your children or grandchildren save so they can enjoy the advantages of higher education. Your LPL Investment Advisor Representative can help you determine the strategy that’s best for you.

Mutual Funds are an affordable way to invest money into the markets. Benefit from a diversified portfolio managed by professionals.

Many people feel they should invest in the stock market, but aren't sure how. One approach to consider is to buy into mutual funds, which are pools of assets purchased by multiple investors. The funds usually involve holdings that are related in some way, such as being from the same industry, small companies or socially conscious businesses. Our LPL Investment Advisor Representatives can explain all the benefits and types of funds including:

• Diversification
• Professional Management
• Liquidity

Investing in mutual funds involves risk, including possilbe loss of principal. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not protect against market risk.

Annuities are investment tools that can provide a guaranteed source of income. It can be an attractive addition to your retirement savings portfolio.

Annuities originate with insurance companies. They are contracts that call for you to pay a sum of money, called a premium, and then receive certain payments in the future in return. There are all sorts of annuities and they are used in a variety of ways, including by company pension plans. Many people make them part of a retirement portfolio because they can offer tax advantages. Our LPL Investment Advisor Representatives can help you decide what is right for you.

• Immediate Annuities
• Deferred Annuities
• Single-Premium Annuities
• Flexible-Premium Annuities
• Fixed Annuities
• Variable Annuities
• Tax-Deferred Annuities

Annuities are suitable for long-term investing, such as retirement investing. Withdrawls prior to age 59 1/2 may be subject to tax penalties and surrender charges may apply. Variable annuities are subject to market risk and may lose value. Guarantees are based on the claims paying ability of the issuer.

Fixed-income investments are designed to produce a steady stream of income. Financial professionals can help you identify potential tax advantages. Not every investment carries a high degree of risk. Fixed-income tools such as Treasury bills and municipal, government and corporate bonds may offer solid returns. An LPL Investment Advisor Representative can help identify the suitable fixed-income tools for your portfolio.

• Wide range of products backed by local, state and federal governments and corporations
• Returns that may exceed rates on savings accounts
• Interest payments made on regular basis
• Potential tax advantages depending on the financial tool
• Get professional advice on which financial instruments are right for your investing strategy

Government bonds and Treasury bills are guaranteed by the US government as to the timely payment of principal and interest and, if held to maturity, offer a fixed rate of return and fixed principal value. The market value of corporate bonds will fluctuate, and if the bond is sold prior to maturity, the investor’s yield may differ from the advertised yield. Bonds are subject to market and interest rate risk if sold prior to maturity. Bond values will decline as interest rates rise and bonds are subject to availability and change in price.

The terms “equities” and “stocks” both refer to having partial ownership in a publicly held company. If the company grows, so will the stock price or value. However, a stock can also lose value. American Eagle Investment Services typically sells equities through mutual funds or one of our many advisory accounts. In this way, you are receiving professional management and diversification of your stock portfolio.

• Investments for those with above average risk tolerance
• Potential benefits include long-term growth and capital appreciation
• Investors benefit from professional portfolio management

Stock investing involves risk, including loss of principal. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not protect against market risk.

Build income through ownership of commercial properties. Diversify your portfolio by pooling resources with other investors. Most individual investors can't afford to buy apartment complexes, hospitals, office buildings, warehouses, hotels or shopping malls on their own. But by teaming up with other investors, you can reap the potential benefits of commercial property ownership.

​Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) involves special risks such as potential illiquidity and may not be suitable for all investors. There is no assurance that the investment objectives of this program will be attained.
