Important Information

Orcam Financial Group (DBA Discipline Funds) provides various tools, opinions and dashboards for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing herein should be considered financial advice.

The results, outputs, charts, allocations, projections, duration targets, and any other analytics shown are based on user inputs and simplified assumptions. They are not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, adopt any specific investment strategy, implement any tax strategy, or take any particular action.

The tools do not provide personalized investment advice, tax advice, or legal advice. The information presented is general in nature and may not be appropriate for your individual objectives, financial situation, time horizon, or risk tolerance. You should consult your own qualified financial professional, tax advisor, and/or legal counsel before making any decision.

Any forward-looking estimates, including but not limited to expected returns, income projections, asset-liability matching schedules, withdrawal paths, RMD estimates, longevity assumptions, duration targets, inflation assumptions, Social Security estimates, or portfolio allocations, are hypothetical in nature. They are not guarantees of future results and they do not reflect actual trading, portfolio, or tax outcomes. Actual future results may differ materially and can change quickly, especially in response to market conditions, interest rates, taxes, regulations, or personal circumstances.

These tools may reference “duration,” “time horizon,” “Defined Duration,” “risk score,” “recommended allocation,” “funding gap,” “shortfall,” or similar terms. These terms are internal frameworks used by Discipline Funds to help illustrate concepts such as aligning assets to liabilities over time. They are not standardized industry measures, may rely on assumptions or third-party data believed to be reliable but not independently verified, and should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a given mix of assets will meet future liabilities.

Backtested, hypothetical, or model results (if displayed) have important limitations: they do not represent actual client accounts, trading costs, taxes, or behavioral factors (such as the impact of investor decisions made under stress). Past performance, whether actual or hypothetical, is not indicative of future results.

All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Asset allocation and diversification do not eliminate the risk of market loss. Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, and reinvestment risk. Equities are subject to market risk and volatility. Inflation, tax law changes, withdrawals, and unexpected cash needs can materially impact any plan.

Nothing herein should be interpreted as an offer to buy or sell shares of any fund. Fund shares are offered only by prospectus or summary prospectus. Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Data shown in the tools may rely on third-party sources (including government data, index data, yield curves, inflation measures, and demographic assumptions). While believed to be accurate, Discipline Funds does not guarantee accuracy, completeness, or timeliness, and assumes no obligation to update the information.

Use of these tools does not create an advisory, fiduciary, client, or ongoing monitoring relationship with Discipline Funds. This is a self-directed tool. By using it, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for any decisions you make.
