Citigroup Inc. and its affiliates do not provide tax or legal advice. To the extent that this material or any attachment concerns tax matters, it is not intended to be used and cannot be used by a taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed by law. Any such taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer's particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

Asset allocation and diversification do not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

All mutual fund products are sold by prospectus, which contains more complete information about the fund. Please contact your Financial Advisor for copies. Please read the prospectus and consider the fund’s objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the fund.

Investors should carefully consider the variable annuity/sub–accounts’ objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is found in the prospectus, which should be read carefully before investing. Please contact your Financial Advisor for a copy of the prospectus.

Insurance and annuity guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuer.

Bonds are affected by a number of risks, including fluctuations in interest rates, credit risk and prepayment risk. In general, as prevailing interest rates rise, fixed income securities prices will fall. Bonds face credit risk if a decline in an issuer's credit rating, or creditworthiness, causes a bond's price to decline. High yield bonds are subject to additional risks such as increased risk of default and greater volatility because of the lower credit quality of the issues. Finally, bonds can be subject to prepayment risk. When interest rates fall, an issuer may choose to borrow money at a lower interest rate, while paying off its previously issued bonds. As a consequence, underlying bonds will lose the interest payments from the investment and will be forced to reinvest in a market where prevailing interest rates are lower than when the initial investment was made.

Depending on your state of residency, some bonds may be exempt from state and local taxes; however, interest may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax.

  1. Commission-free trading of ETFs excludes leveraged and inverse ETFs and applies only to trades placed online and on the Citi Mobile App. Clients will pay a commission to buy or sell ETFs by phone. ETFs are subject to management fees and expenses; refer to each ETF"s prospectus for more information. Account service fees may also apply
  2. Borrowing against securities may not be suitable for everyone. If the value of the securities should decline below a minimum level, you may be subject to a collateral call without specific advance notice, requiring you to deposit additional cash or securities. If you cannot do so, all or a portion of your collateral could be liquidated, and a potentially taxable event could result. You are not entitled to choose which securities are sold or any extension of time to meet a collateral call. A concentrated portfolio holding a single or a few securities may be subject to greater risk of a collateral call than a diversified portfolio; a diversified portfolio will tend to be less subject to a sharp decline resulting from the negative performance of a single security. Availability, qualifications, and other restrictions may vary by state. Ask your Financial Advisor for details.
  3. Includes Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, Education Savings Account, Beneficiary IRA (Beneficiary IRA fee waived in first year only).
  4. Includes 401(k), SAR SEP IRA, Profit Sharing Plan, and Money Purchase Plans. This fee is charged at the plan level, participants of these plan types are not charged the annual fee.

Securities-Based Borrowing

A securities-based line of credit can help meet liquidity cash needs by unlocking the value of your investments without selling them. This type of borrowing may be easier to obtain and more flexible than other choices. Some of the advantages of securities-based borrowing include:

  • Access to cash when you need it, potentially avoiding capital gains taxes from selling securities1
  • Typically, lower rates than other forms of credit
  • No set-up, non-use, or cancellation fees
  • Ability to borrow between 50% to 95% of your eligible assets, depending on the collateral and type of credit you receive

These lines of credit can be used for many purposes. Common uses include:

  • Home renovations
  • Real estate purchases1
  • Expenses such as taxes
  • Boat, car, or other luxury purchases
  • Business opportunities
  1. You can use a non-purpose securities-based line of credit for any purpose except to purchase, carry, or trade securities; refinance or repay margin loans; or repay any other loan used for securities purchases. A margin account is the only securities-based line of credit you may use to purchase securities.
