Mega-Cap Portfolio, Series 65

The Mega-Cap Portfolio invests in some of the largest companies in the world. These companies are well-known blue chip companies that are widely regarded as leaders in their respective industries. These companies, known for their quality products and services, are some of the most successful in the world and have the potential to provide their stockholders with a greater degree of stability and consistent performance over time.

Mega-cap companies typically have a notable presence throughout the world. Recently, more opportunities have arisen outside of the United States, where populations are growing rapidly and market penetration is lower. The United Nations anticipates that the current world population of 7.7 billion could potentially increase to 9.7 billion in 2050 driven by growth in developing countries. According to the International Monetary Fund, world GDP growth is estimated to be 3.6% in both 2022 and 2023.

Risk Considerations
An investment in this unmanaged unit investment trust should be made with an understanding of the risks involved with owning common stocks, such as an economic recession and the possible deterioration of either the financial condition of the issuers of the equity securities or the general condition of the stock market.

An investment in a portfolio containing equity securities of foreign issuers is subject to additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political risks, withholding, the lack of adequate financial information, and exchange control restrictions impacting foreign issuers.

Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate than the overall market.

As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the trust has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cybersecurity.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine which has caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, and the United States. The hostilities and sanctions resulting from those hostilities could have a significant impact on certain investments as well as performance.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, causing losses for investors. The development of vaccines has slowed the spread of the virus and allowed for the resumption of “reasonably” normal business activity in the United States, although many countries continue to impose lockdown measures. Additionally, there is no guarantee that vaccines will be effective against emerging variants of the disease.

The value of the securities held by the trust may be subject to steep declines or increased volatility due to changes in performance or perception of the issuers.

This UIT is a buy and hold strategy and investors should consider their ability to hold the trust until maturity. There may be tax consequences unless units are purchased in an IRA or other qualified plan.
