SBI Global Equity Portfolio


Date Updated: 06/30/2010 Download Fund Portfolio Overview

Summary

Investment Objective

Long-term capital appreciation with little consideration for income generation. Intended for investors who can tolerate the short-term volatility of US and international equity markets in the pursuit of longer-term returns.

Investment Strategy

The Portfolio is invested in US and international equity mutual funds, with a small amount invested in US money market funds for liquidity. Funds are selected using the SBI methodology described on the Fund Portfolios Overview Page.

Investment Risks

There are risks involved with mutual fund investing, including the risk of loss of principal. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful results. An investment concentrated in sectors and industries may involve greater risk and volatility than a more diversified investment. Nothing herein is intended to imply that an investment in our investment methodology may be considered "conservative," "safe," "risk free" or" risk averse."
