Variable annuities are long-term investments intended for retirement planning and involve market risk and the possible loss of principal.

Any withdrawals prior to 59½ may be subject to income tax and a 10% federal tax penalty. 

Variable annuities are subject to a number of fees, including mortality and risk expense charges, administrative fees, premium taxes, investment management fees, and charges for additional optional features. Although there are no surrender charges on the variable annuities offered by Schwab, such charges do apply in the early years of many contracts.

A variable annuity's value will fluctuate depending on the underlying investment. An investor's units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original amount invested. 

Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Shares of ETFs are not individually redeemable directly with the ETF. Shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than the net asset value (NAV). 

Diversification strategies do not ensure a profit and do not protect against losses in declining markets. 

Fixed income securities are subject to increased loss of principal during periods of rising interest rates. Fixed income investments are subject to various other risks including changes in credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption, corporate events, tax ramifications and other factors. 

Investments in managed accounts should be considered in view of a larger, more diversified investment portfolio.

Alternative investments, including funds that invest in alternative investments, are risky and may not be suitable for all investors. An investment in any offering made available through any third-party platform is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Investors may lose all or a substantial portion of their investment. Alternative investment often employ leverage and other speculative practices that increase an investor's risk of loss, often charge high fees, may require investors to satisfy capital calls, and can be highly illiquid and volatile. These investments may lack diversification, involve complex tax structures and have delays in reporting tax information. 

Demand and pay rates vary by security and over time. Schwab may terminate a loan at any time. Shares loaned out are not protected by SIPC. However, Schwab will maintain cash as collateral, which will amount to at least 100% of the loan. In the unlikely event of Schwab filing for bankruptcy, you can draw on this collateral, which may be the only source of resolution. Each security will have its own lending rate based on demand. The annualized lending interest rate is a portion of the total interest earned on the loaned shares. Shares on loan often support short trading strategies.
