However, the investment options available under the Advisor-Guided Plan are not available under the Direct Plan. The fees and expenses of the Advisor-Guided Plan include compensation to the financial advisory firm. Be sure to understand the options available before making an investment decision.
The Advisor-Guided Plan is offered through financial intermediaries, including broker-dealers, investment advisers and firms that are registered as both broker-dealers and investment advisers and their respective investment professionals. Broker-dealers and investment advisers are subject to different standards under federal and state law when providing investment advice and recommendations about securities. Please ask the financial professional with whom you are working about the role and capacity in which their financial intermediary acts when providing services to you or if you have any questions in this regard.
