You should consult your tax or legal advisor about the IRS guidelines on contribution limits for IRAs and the appropriate tax treatment for this bonus.

About PortfolioBuilder
As a self-directed investor, you must carefully consider the appropriateness of the proposed investments in light of your own personal financial circumstances, including cash flow needs, unusual tax implications or other complex or subjective concerns. Additionally, market conditions and your personal financial situation may change—perhaps suddenly or gradually over time. It is up to you to reassess any investment program, including PortfolioBuilder, on a regular basis to ensure that it remains consistent with your current financial resources and investing objectives. Monitoring and adjusting your ShareBuilder investments to suit your changes are your responsibility. If you choose to rebalance your portfolio to address those changes, you are responsible for any costs associated with the transactions.

Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against market losses.

You should carefully consider a fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For a prospectus containing this and other important information, please visit the fund's detailed quote page, or contact a ShareBuilder Customer Service Associate. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
