Clear Mountain Investments can help advise you in selecting stocks and bonds that best suit your needs.

Stocks
When you own a share of stock, you are a part owner in the company. As a stockholder you share in the company's profits, growth, and future, which may mean losses or gains. Over time, stocks in general have proven to be solid investments.

Stock investing involves risk including loss of principal.

Bonds
When you purchase a bond, you are lending money to a government, municipality, corporation, federal agency or other entity known as an issuer. In return for that money, the issuer provides you with a bond in which it promises to pay a specified rate of interest during the life of the bond and to repay the face value of the bond (the principal) when it matures, or comes due.

There are various types of bonds available for investment, including U.S. government securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, federal agency securities and foreign government bonds.

Bonds are subject to market and interest rate risk if sold prior to maturity. Bond values will decline as interest rates rise and bonds are subject to availability and change in price.
