Chart and Slide Disclosures:
Purpose & audience. This content is for general information and education only. It does not constitute personalized investment, tax, or legal advice, an offer to sell, or a solicitation to buy any security. All investing involves risk, including the risk of loss. Results will vary for each investor.
What you’re viewing. Unless stated otherwise, charts on this page show market or index data—not the results of any Covenant Wealth Advisors portfolio or client account. Market indexes are unmanaged, cannot be invested in directly, and do not reflect advisory fees, trading costs, taxes, or the impact of cash flows. Any returns shown are typically total returns (dividends/interest reinvested), but please see chart footnotes for the precise calculation. Your actual results will differ.
Data sources & assumptions. Data come from third‑party sources we believe to be reliable (e.g., index providers, academic datasets, government series). Historical “back‑filled” or reconstructed series may be used for periods before formal index inception and should be viewed as estimates. Methodologies, index constituents, and calculation practices may change without notice. All figures are as of the date indicated and are subject to revision.
Limitations & risks. Long‑term market charts can obscure the severity and length of interim drawdowns; short‑term charts can over‑emphasize recent moves. Equity markets can be volatile and have experienced losses exceeding 50%; bond prices can decline when interest rates rise; inflation reduces purchasing power. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Comparisons. Comparisons between an index and a managed strategy are for context only. Because indexes do not incur fees or trading costs, index returns are higher than the net returns an investor would have achieved in a comparable, real‑world investment.
Subset or segment results. If a slide shows the performance of a subset of a market (e.g., a sector, factor, or “ex‑[group]” segment), we will provide the corresponding total index results through the most recent period for which we have data promptly upon request so you can evaluate the subset in context. Email info@mycwa.com.
Hypothetical or model outputs. If any slide includes projections, scenarios, back‑tests, or other hypothetical results, they are shown for illustration, rely on assumptions that may not materialize, and have inherent limitations; they are not guarantees of future outcomes. Where used, we will describe key inputs, assumptions, and limitations, and we tailor such material to the likely financial situation and objectives of the intended audience.
Regulatory note. The SEC has not approved or reviewed the calculations or presentation of any performance shown. Covenant Wealth Advisors is an SEC‑registered investment adviser; registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training.
Intellectual property. All third‑party trademarks (e.g., S&P 500®) belong to their owners and are used for reference only.
