16. Financial Services and Investment Disclosures
Cardone Wealth Advisors is an SEC-registered investment adviser. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training.
Nothing on our Sites is intended as personalized investment, legal, tax, or insurance advice, nor as a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security, investment strategy, or insurance product, unless specifically provided under a separate written advisory, planning, or other agreement and in accordance with applicable law.
All investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Any forward-looking statements, examples, case studies, hypothetical illustrations, or educational content are for informational purposes only and do not guarantee future performance or success.
The suitability of any investment, planning strategy, insurance product, or asset allocation depends on an individual’s specific objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, tax situation, and overall financial circumstances.
Insurance products involve costs, exclusions, limitations, and terms that vary by policy and carrier. Guarantees, including those associated with certain insurance products, are generally subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Securities and investment products are not bank deposits, are not insured by the FDIC or any other federal agency, are not bank guaranteed, and may lose value.
