PPS accounts are managed accounts and managed accounts, like all investments, are subject to risk. A managed account can fail to meet its investment objective. Aggressively managed accounts, accounts that concentrate on more volatile investments—such a small-company stocks—and accounts whose managers’ investment styles are suffering in the current market are likely to fall more sharply in value under certain market conditions than conservatively managed accounts. But they also have the potential to gain more in rising markets.
