The Adviser may not transact business in states where it is not appropriately registered, or excluded or exempted from registration. Individualized responses to persons that involve either the effecting of transactions in securities, or the rendering of personalized investment advice for compensation, will not be made without registration or exemption.
Information on this site is limited to the dissemination of general information on products and services and is not investment advice or the solicitation for the purchase or sale of any security, product or service.
Your use of this Website is acknowledgement that you have read and understood this complete page. The purpose of this site is to provide information. Our services are not completely described here and you should contact us directly if you are interested in knowing about or using our investment advisory services. We are registered with the State of Washington Department of Financial Institutions.
We provide investment information that we believe to be useful and accurate. However, there cannot be any guarantees. There are many different interpretations of investment statistics and many different ideas about how to best use them. None of these offer guarantees. However, we believe that passive investing is the best of these.
We also provide links to information that we also believe to be useful and accurate. However, we have no control over this off-site information and cannot guarantee its accuracy.
Performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
The principal risks of investing in mutual funds may include one or more of the following: market risk, small companies risk, risk of concentrating in the real estate industry, foreign securities and currencies risk, emerging markets risk, banking concentration risk, interest rate risk, risk of investing for inflation protection, risk of municipal securities, and/or fund of funds risk. To more fully understand the risks related to an investment in the funds, investors should carefully read each fund’s prospectus.
Investments in foreign issuers are subject to certain considerations that are not associated with investments in US public companies. Investments of the International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity and the Global Fixed Income Funds will be denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in the relative values of these foreign currencies and the US dollar, therefore, will affect the value of investments in the Portfolios.
Securities of small companies are often less liquid than those of large companies. As a result, small company stock and the funds which invest in them may fluctuate relatively more in price. Although securities of larger firms fluctuate relatively less, economic, political and issuer specific events will cause the value of all securities and the funds which invest in them to fluctuate as well.
The net asset value of a fund that invests in fixed income securities will fluctuate when interest rates rise. An investor can lose principal value investing in a fixed income fund during a rising interest rate environment.

WARNING: Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so that investors’ shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investing in any mutual fund, index or actively managed, does not guarantee that an investor will make money, avoid losing capital, or indicate that the investment is risk-free. Actively managed funds sometimes outperform index funds. You just don’t know in advance which actively managed fund will outperform the appropriate index. Just because a mutual fund is an index mutual fund, it does not guarantee a performance superior to an actively managed mutual fund. There are no absolute guarantees in investing.
The performance information presented in certain charts or tables represent backtested performance based on combined simulated index data and live (or actual) mutual fund results. Backtested performance is hypothetical (it does not reflect trading in actual accounts) and is provided for informational purposes only to indicate historical performance had the index portfolios been available over the relevant time period. The indexing investment strategy to which we practice is based on the principles of Modern Portfolio Theory and the Fama and French Three Factor Model for Equities and Two Factor Model for Fixed Income. Index portfolios are designed to provide substantial global diversification in order to reduce investment concentration and the resulting potential increased risk caused by the volatility of individual companies, indexes, or asset classes.
Backtested performance does not represent actual performance and should not be interpreted as an indication of such performance. Actual performance for client accounts may be materially lower than that of the index portfolios. Backtested performance results have certain inherent limitations. Such results do not represent the impact that material economic and market factors might have on an investment adviser’s decision-making process if the adviser were actually managing client money. Backtested performance also differs from actual performance because it is achieved through the retroactive application of model portfolios designed with the benefit of hindsight. As a result, the models theoretically may be changed from time to time and the effect on performance results could be either favorable or unfavorable.
Performance results for clients that invested in accordance with our investing implementation will vary from the backtested performance due to market conditions and other factors, including investments cash flows, mutual fund allocations, frequency and precision of rebalancing, tax-management strategies, cash balances, advisory fees, varying custodian fees, and/or the timing of fee deductions. As the result of these and potentially other variances, actual performance for client accounts may differ materially from (and may be lower than) that of the index portfolios demonstrated in this website or those of sites linked to. Clients should consult their account statements for information about how their actual performance compares to that of the demonstration index portfolios.
As with any investment strategy, there is potential for profit as well as the possibility of loss. RWC does not guarantee any minimum level of investment performance or the success of any index portfolio or investment strategy. All investments involve risk and investment recommendations will not always be profitable.
