5. NO INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATION OR ADVICE.

Ellevest provides its investment advisory services only to individuals who become Ellevest clients pursuant to a written investment advisory agreement. Articles, commentaries, investment plans and other content provided by Ellevest on or through the Website are for illustrative or educational purposes only and do not constitute investment, legal or tax advice, or an offer to buy, sell or hold any security.

There is no guarantee that any particular asset allocation or mix of funds will meet your investment objectives or provide you with a given level of income. Investing entails risk including the possible loss of principal and there is no assurance that the investment will provide positive performance over any period of time.
