Thornburg’s goal is to increase the real wealth of shareholders after accounting for inflation, taxes, and investment expenses. Please visit our homepage at www.thornburg.com.
Important Legal Information
Please read these terms and conditions of use carefully. Thornburg social media accounts (“sites”), including but not limited to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube, are maintained by Thornburg Investment Management, Inc. (“Thornburg”), an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Thornburg is not responsible for the terms of use or privacy or security policies on the sites or any third-party sites that may be linked to through the sites or through other pages. You use any third-party sites and materials at your own risk.
The information posted to the sites by or on behalf of any member of Thornburg’s investment team generally represents that individual’s current opinions. Such opinions are subject to change without notice and do not necessarily represent the opinions of other personnel at Thornburg or of the firm as a whole. All posts are provided for informational purposes only and should not be considered investment advice or a recommendation of any particular security, strategy, or investment product. Any person considering an investment, or the effect of taxes on an investment, should consult with their own financial and tax advisors and should carefully review the prospectus or other disclosure document for the investment being considered.
Important Investment Information
Past performance is neither a guarantee of nor a reliable indicator of future results. All investments involve risk and may lose value. For example, investments in the bond markets (including investments in bond mutual funds) are subject to risks including, but not limited to, market risk, interest-rate risk, credit risk, issuer risk and liquidity risk. Investments in the equity markets (including investments in equity mutual funds) are subject to risks including, but not limited to, market risk, issuer risk and liquidity risk. These and other risks may be enhanced with respect to investments in the securities of foreign issuers or which are denominated in foreign currencies and may be further enhanced with respect to investments in emerging or developing markets. You should carefully review the prospectus or other disclosure documents for any investment that you are considering for a discussion of the particular risks which may be associated with that investment. In particular, you should note that none of the investments which may be referred to on the sites are deposits or obligations of, or are guaranteed or endorsed by, the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other governmental agency. Furthermore, there is no guarantee or suggestion that any investment strategy described on the sites will perform under all market conditions or will be suitable for all investors. Investors should evaluate their ability to invest long term, especially during market downturns, and should consult a financial advisor prior to making a decision.

User Representations
The sites are forums where common sense, decency, and civility should prevail. While Thornburg may monitor third-party postings, we cannot review them before they are displayed and may not review them after they are posted.

Thornburg is an SEC-registered investment advisor, and we therefore cannot publish or otherwise disseminate testimonials about our products or services. Please refrain from such postings, and keep postings to investment themes rather than commenting upon Thornburg or its products or employees.
We ask that you use your best judgment and reasonable caution in evaluating information on or available through the sites. We reserve the right to remove any post, at any time, for any reason, where site technology permits. If we do not remove a post, that does not mean that we endorse its content or view. We may also reserve the right to alter, edit, or adapt a third-party post.

Thornburg’s decision to follow, connect, or “like” a third party’s social media account, or to retransmit information from any such third-party account, does not constitute an endorsement by Thornburg or any of its employees of the information or views expressed in that account.
