Okay Close1. Fixed rates from 2.99% APR to 6.88% APR (with AutoPay). Variable rates from 2.25% APR to 6.43% APR (with AutoPay). Interest rates on variable rate loans are capped at either 8.95% or 9.95% depending on term of loan. See APR examples and terms. Lowest variable rate of 2.25% APR assumes current 1 month LIBOR rate of 0.15% plus 2.35% margin minus 0.25% ACH discount. Not all borrowers receive the lowest rate. If approved for a loan, the fixed or variable interest rate offered will depend on your creditworthiness, and the term of the loan and other factors, and will be within the ranges of rates listed above. For the SoFi variable rate loan, the 1-month LIBOR index will adjust monthly and the loan payment will be re-amortized and may change monthly. APRs for variable rate loans may increase after origination if the LIBOR index increases. See eligibility details. The SoFi 0.25% AutoPay interest rate reduction requires you to agree to make monthly principal and interest payments by an automatic monthly deduction from a savings or checking account. The benefit will discontinue and be lost for periods in which you do not pay by automatic deduction from a savings or checking account. The discount will not reduce the monthly payment; instead, the interest savings are applied to the principal loan balance, which may help pay the loan down faster. Enrolling in autopay is not required to receive a loan from SoFi. *To check the rates and terms you qualify for, SoFi conducts a soft credit inquiry. Unlike hard credit inquiries, soft credit inquiries (or soft credit pulls) do not impact your credit score. Soft credit inquiries allow SoFi to show you what rates and terms SoFi can offer you up front. After seeing your rates, if you choose a product and continue your application, we will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit inquiry. Hard credit inquiries (or hard credit pulls) are required for SoFi to be able to issue you a loan. In addition to requiring your explicit permission, these credit pulls may impact your credit score.
2. If you lose your job through no fault of your own, you may apply for Unemployment Protection. SoFi will suspend your monthly SoFi loan payments and provide job placement assistance during your forbearance period. Interest will continue to accrue and will be added to your principal balance at the end of each forbearance period, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Benefits are offered in three month increments, and capped at 12 months, in aggregate, over the life of the loan. To be eligible for this assistance you must provide proof that you have applied for and are eligible for unemployment compensation, and you must actively work with our Career Advisory Group to look for new employment. If the loan is co-signed the unemployment protection applies where both the borrower and cosigner lose their job and meet conditions.
Minimum Credit Score: Not all applicants who meet SoFi’s minimum credit score requirements are approved for student loan refinancing. In addition to meeting SoFi’s minimum eligibility criteria, applicants must also meet other credit and underwriting requirements to qualify.
Student Loan Refinance Calculator: The estimated savings calculation is derived by taking the estimated lifetime cost or monthly payment amount of your existing student loan(s) minus the total estimated lifetime cost or monthly payment amount of a SoFi loan upon refinancing, based on the assumptions outlined below. SoFi’s savings methodology for student loan refinancing assumes that your current, non-SoFi loan(s) have 1) an interest rate of 7.100% (unless otherwise input by you); 2) an outstanding term of 10 years (unless otherwise input by you); and 3) an outstanding balance equal to your stated loan amount. The calculation also assumes that your SoFi refinance loan 1) has the rate (APR) and term you selected; 2) is paid on-time for the duration of the refinanced term with no pre-payment amounts; and 3) has the AutoPay discount, which lowers the APR of your loan by 0.25%. Your actual savings may vary based on interest rates, balances, remaining repayment term and other factors. The estimated savings amount is not representative of your current situation or qualifications and is not a commitment to lend. Though refinancing to a longer term helps to achieve monthly savings, borrowers generally pay more in total interest over the life of the loan.
12. Fixed rates from 2.99% APR to 6.04% APR (with AutoPay). Variable rates from 2.25% APR to 5.59% APR (with AutoPay). Interest rates on variable rate loans are capped at either 8.95% or 9.95% depending on term of loan. See APR examples and terms. Lowest variable rate of 2.25% APR assumes current 1 month LIBOR rate of 0.15% plus 2.35% margin minus 0.25% AutoPay discount. Not all borrowers receive the lowest rate. If approved for a loan, the fixed or variable interest rate offered will depend on your creditworthiness, and the term of the loan and other factors, and will be within the ranges of rates listed above. For the SoFi variable rate loan, the 1-month LIBOR index will adjust monthly and the loan payment will be re-amortized and may change monthly. APRs for variable rate loans may increase after origination if the LIBOR index increases. See eligibility details. The SoFi 0.25% AutoPay interest rate reduction requires you to agree to make monthly principal and interest payments by an automatic monthly deduction from a savings or checking account. The benefit will discontinue and be lost for periods in which you do not pay by automatic deduction from a savings or checking account. Unlike Federal Parent PLUS loans, the SoFi Parent Loan is not discharged in the event of death or permanent disability of the borrower or the student on whose behalf the loan is taken out.
1. Fixed rates from 3.12% APR to 6.93% APR (with AutoPay). Variable rates from 2.38% APR to 6.93% APR (with AutoPay). Interest rates on variable rate loans are capped at either 8.95% or 9.95% depending on term of loan. See APR examples and terms. Lowest variable rate of 2.38% APR assumes current 1 month LIBOR rate of 0.15% plus 2.48% margin minus 0.25% ACH discount. Not all borrowers receive the lowest rate.

Not all amounts available in all states, see Medical and Dental Resident Student Loan Refinancing eligibility details. Notice: this loan type will likely result in negative amortization during the residency period; read more at SoFi.com/legal#medical-resident-slr-100. The SoFi 0.25% AutoPay interest rate reduction requires you to agree to make monthly principal and interest payments by an automatic monthly deduction from a savings or checking account. The benefit will discontinue and be lost for periods in which you do not pay by automatic deduction from a savings or checking account. The discount will not reduce the monthly payment; instead, the discount is applied to the principal to help pay the loan down faster.
The minimum monthly payment of $100 while in the Residency Period may not pay all of the interest due each month, which will likely result in negative amortization and a larger principal balance when you enter the Full Repayment Period. Dental residents and fellows are unable to receive additional tuition liabilities for the duration of their Residency Period; see SoFi.com/eligibility for details. See APR examples and terms. SoFi refinance loans are private loans and do not have the same repayment options that the federal loan program offers such as Income Based Repayment or Income Contingent Repayment or PAYE or REPAYE. In addition, federal student loans offer deferment and forbearance options that are not available for SoFi Lending Corp. Medical or Dental Resident Refinance Loan borrowers.

Late Fees:
Hold up. Just because we don’t charge late fees, we want to make sure you know—by paying after your bill’s due date, paying less than the minimum due, or even missing payments, means you’ll accumulate more interest and your final payment will be larger as a result. And you wouldn’t want that. Payments that are not made in full or on time may result an event of default under your Loan Agreement. And you don’t want that either. Late payments, partial payments, missed payments, or defaults on your loan may be reflected on your credit report. Nobody anywhere wants that. Nope nope nope.
That said, SoFi knows that life happens. Remember that if you lose your job through no fault of your own, you might be eligible for SoFi’s Unemployment Protection Program. Learn more here.

Performance Disclosures: Hypothetical Future Outcomes
Additional Explanatory Notes and Disclosures Related to Performance:
General:
SoFi Wealth, LLC (“SoFi Wealth”) is an SEC registered Investment Adviser. Information pertaining to SoFi Wealth’s advisory operations, services, and fees is set forth in SoFi Wealth’s current Form ADV Part 2 (Brochure).
The material in this presentation is based on information from a variety of sources we consider reliable, but we do not represent that the information is accurate or complete. The material provided herein is for informational purposes only. SoFi Wealth does not provide tax advice to its clients. All investors are strongly urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding any potential investment.
This content is not intended to be used as a general guide to investing, or as a source of any specific investment recommendations, and makes no implied or express recommendations concerning the manner in which any client’s account should or would be handled, as appropriate strategies depend upon the client’s specific circumstances and investment objectives. The presentation of performance is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
SoFi Indices:
SoFi Wealth constructed the indices presented using a series of widely used total return asset class-specific indexes that follow a set of rules of ownership that are typically held constant regardless of market conditions and that are generally representative of holdings currently maintained in the SoFi Wealth model portfolios. An important characteristic of an index fund is that its rules of ownership are not based on a forecast of short-term events. Therefore, an investment strategy that is limited to the buying and rebalancing of a portfolio of index funds is often referred to as passive investing, as opposed to active investing. Simulated index data is based on a combination of performance of widely used total return asset class-specific indexes and subjective judgement taking into account the current economic environment.
Performance results assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and monthly rebalancing at the end of each month. The monthly return is calculated with the assumption that the SoFi index is perfectly in balance at the end of each month. In actual SoFi portfolios, rebalancing occurs at no set time, and such actions are dependent on both market conditions and individual client liquidity inflows and outflows, along with the cost impact of such transactions on the overall portfolio.
The performance of the SoFi indices excludes the impact of fees. ETF’s used in an investment portfolio generally do not minimize tax liabilities from short and long-term capital gains and any potential resulting tax liability is not deducted from performance results. SoFi Wealth does not charge transaction fees, but management fees and other custody related expenses may apply and are not reflected, which reduce returns.
The underlying holdings of the portfolio are not federally or FDIC-insured and are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by, any financial institution. Investing in securities involves investment risks including possible loss of principal and fluctuation in value.
No taxes are taken into account—chart assumes the account used to invest is a taxable account that is an ongoing concern throughout the period presented.
Monte Carlo Simulation:
The hypothetical illustrations rely upon a Monte Carlo simulation which provides thousands of future states of the given investment strategy. The inputs to this simulation are the forecasted expected return of each investment strategy along with the anticipated standard deviation of the investment strategy. The expected return assumptions are based on SoFi Wealth’s Investment Committee’s view on the macroeconomic environment, historical returns, and forward-looking views and assumptions. Expected standard deviation is approximated by analyzing the backtest of the hypothetical returns of the current allocations in each given investment strategy over the most recent 10-year period, and any forward-looking views and assumptions. Allocations are assumed constant over the course of the entire simulation and assumed to be rebalanced on a monthly basis. No trading costs or taxes are incorporated into the simulation.
These assumptions materially impact the simulations and may change from time to time at the discretion of the Investment Committee. No assurances can be made that the assumptions will prove to be accurate. There are many variables that can affect an investment performance forecast. The most volatile variable is the expected investment returns, which, historically, vary on a daily basis. Even with this knowledge, most financial projections use constant investment rates over the period of the analysis. The use of these averages is used as a start for the planning process, since the actual values are unknown. Unfortunately, however, this type of analysis illustrates only one outcome, thereby requiring that simulation be used to imitate real-life situations. In order to produce meaningful results, these simulations are processed many times. By varying the rates of return to simulate the fluctuations that can be experienced in the marketplace, a more realistic reflection of the anticipated ups and downs of the investment environment is presented.
These multiple simulations produce a range of results. These results are then analyzed and probabilities are associated with the outcome. Due to the random nature in which the simulations are generated and the regular updating of historical asset class data, the results may vary with each use and over time, even if the underlying assumptions are not changed.
Important: The projections or other information generated by Monte Carlo simulations regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results and are not guarantees of future results. An investment cannot be made directly into a Monte Carlo simulation. There are limitations in using a Monte Carlo simulation, including the analysis is only as good as the assumptions, and despite modeling for a range of uncertainties in the future, it does not eliminate uncertainty.
The results can be presented various ways, but the ultimate goal of a Monte Carlo simulation is to educate and communicate about the uncertainty of the future, so you can make educated decisions about your specific situations.
Key Assumptions:
Strategy | Return | Volatility |
---|---|---|
Aggressive | 6.4% | 15.2% |
Moderately Aggressive | 5.6% | 12.2% |
Moderate | 4.8% | 9.2% |
Moderately Conservative | 3.5% | 5.2% |
Conservative | 2.3% | 3.4% |
Risks:
All investments are subject to risk, which should be considered prior to making and investment decisions.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
ETFs are open-end investment companies, unit investment trusts or depository receipts that hold portfolios of stocks, bonds, commodities and/or currencies that commonly are designed, before expenses, to closely track the performance and dividend yield of (i) a specific index, (ii) a basket of securities, commodities or currencies, or (iii) a particular commodity or currency. The types of indices commonly sought to be replicated by ETFs most often include domestic equity indices, fixed income indices, sector indices and foreign or international indices. ETF shares are traded on exchanges and are traded and priced throughout the trading day. ETFs permit an investor to purchase a selling interest in a portfolio of stocks throughout the trading day. Because ETFs trade on an exchange, they may not trade at NAV. Sometimes, the prices of ETFs may vary significantly from the NAVs of the ETFs’ underlying securities. Additionally, if an investor decides to redeem ETF shares rather than selling them on a secondary market, the investor may receive the underlying securities which must be sold in order to obtain cash.
Equity:
Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and mutual funds that invest in these securities. Equity markets can be volatile. Stock prices rise and fall based on changes in an individual company’s financial condition and overall market conditions. Stock prices can decline significantly in response to adverse market conditions, company-specific events, and other domestic and international political and economic developments.
Fixed Income:
Fixed income securities include corporate bonds, municipal bonds, other debt instruments and mutual funds that invest in these securities. Issuers generally pay a fixed, variable, or floating interest rate, and must repay the amount borrowed at maturity. Some debt instruments, such as zero-coupon bonds, do not pay current interest, but are sold at a discount from their face value. Prices of fixed income securities generally decline when interest rates rise, and rise when interest rates fall. Longer-term debt and zero-coupon bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes than debt instruments with shorter maturities.
Fixed income securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the chance that an issuer will fail to pay interest or principal on time. Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs). These NRSROs assign ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Changes in the credit strength of an issuer may reduce the credit rating of its debt investments and may affect their value. High-quality debt instruments are rated at least AA or its equivalent by any NRSRO or are unrated debt instruments of equivalent quality. Issuers of high-grade debt instruments are considered to have a very strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Investment grade debt instruments are rated at least Baa or its equivalent by any NRSRO or are unrated debt instruments of equivalent quality. Baa rated securities are considered to have adequate capacity to pay principal and interest, although they also have speculative characteristics. Lower rated debt securities are more likely to be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions than higher rated debt securities.
U.S. Government securities include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury; issued by a U.S. Government agency; or issued by a Government-Sponsored Enterprise (GSE). U.S. Treasury securities include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, (i.e., Treasury bills, notes and bonds). U.S. Government agency bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury (such as securities of the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or Ginnie Mae)). GSE bonds are issued by certain federally-chartered but privately-owned corporations, but are neither direct obligations of, nor backed by the full faith and credit of, the U.S. Government. GSE bonds include: bonds issued by Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB), Federal Farm Credit Banks (FCS), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or Freddie Mac) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA or Fannie Mae).
International Securities:
International investments involve additional risks you should be aware of, which include differences in financial accounting standards, currency fluctuations, political instability, foreign taxes and regulations, news that can trigger volatile conditions, and the potential for illiquid markets. Small cap companies in these markets may react with greater volatility in reaction to activities in those markets. It is more difficult to obtain reliable information about some foreign securities. The costs of investing in some foreign markets may be higher than investing in domestic markets. Investments in foreign securities also are subject to currency fluctuations.
Definitions:
Asset Class
Asset Class is a standard term that broadly defines a category of investments. The three basic asset classes are Cash, Bonds (fixed income), and Stocks (equity). Bonds and Stocks are often further subdivided into more narrowly defined classes. Some of the most common asset classes are defined below.
Cash and Cash Alternatives
Cash typically includes bank accounts or certificates of deposit, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a limit per account. Cash Alternatives typically include money market securities, U.S. Treasury Bills, and other investments that are readily convertible to cash, have a stable market value, and a very short-term maturity. U.S. Treasury Bills are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and, when held to maturity, provide safety of principal. (See the “Risks Inherent in Investing” section in this Important Disclosure Information for a summary of the risks associated with investing in cash alternatives.)
Bonds
Bonds are either domestic (U.S.) or global debt securities issued by either private corporations or governments. (See the “Risks Inherent in Investing” section in this Important Disclosure Information for a summary of the risks associated with investing in bonds. Bonds are also called “fixed income securities.”)
Domestic government bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and have superior liquidity and, when held to maturity, safety of principal. Domestic corporate bonds carry the credit risk of their issuers and thus usually offer additional yield. Domestic government and corporate bonds can be sub-divided based upon their term to maturity. Short-term bonds have an approximate term to maturity of 1 to 5 years; intermediate-term bonds have an approximate term to maturity of 5 to 10 years; and, long-term bonds have an approximate term to maturity greater than 10 years.
Stocks
Stocks are equity securities of domestic and foreign corporations. (See the “Risks Inherent in Investing” section in this Important Disclosure Information for a summary of the risks associated with investing in stocks.)
Domestic stocks are equity securities of U.S. corporations. Domestic stocks are often sub-divided based upon the market capitalization of the company (the market value of the company’s stock). “Large cap” stocks are from larger companies, “mid cap” from the middle range of companies, and “small cap” from smaller, perhaps newer, companies. Generally, small cap stocks experience greater market volatility than stocks of companies with larger capitalization. Small cap stocks are generally those from companies whose capitalization is less than $500 million, mid cap stocks those between $500 million and $5 billion, and large cap over $5 billion.
Large cap, mid cap and small cap may be further sub-divided into “growth” and “value” categories. Growth companies are those with an orientation towards growth, often characterized by commonly used metrics such as higher price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios. Analogously, value companies are those with an orientation towards value, often characterized by commonly used metrics such as lower price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios.
International stocks are equity securities from foreign corporations. International stocks are often sub-divided into those from “developed” countries and those from “emerging markets.” The emerging markets are in less developed countries with emerging economies that may be characterized by lower income per capita, less developed infrastructure and nascent capital markets. These “emerging markets” usually are less economically and politically stable than the “developed markets.”

General:
SoFi Wealth LLC (“SoFi Wealth”) is an SEC registered Investment Adviser. Information pertaining to SoFi Wealth’s advisory operations, services, and fees is set forth in SoFi Wealth’s current Form ADV Part 2 (Brochure).
The material in this presentation is based on information from a variety of sources we consider reliable, but we do not represent that the information is accurate or complete. The material provided herein is for informational purposes only.
SoFi Wealth does not provide tax advice to its clients. All investors are strongly urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding any potential investment.
This content is not intended to be used as a general guide to investing, or as a source of any specific investment recommendations, and makes no implied or express recommendations concerning the manner in which any client’s account should or would be handled, as appropriate strategies depend upon the client’s specific circumstances and investment objectives.
The presentation of performance is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
Backtested Performance:
Backtested performance is NOT an indicator of future actual results. The results reflect performance of a strategy not offered to investors and do NOT represent returns that any investor actually attained. Backtested results are calculated by the retroactive application of a model constructed on the basis of historical data and based on assumptions integral to the model which may or may not be testable and are subject to losses.
Backtested performance is developed with the benefit of hindsight and has inherent limitations. Specifically, backtested results do not reflect actual trading or the effect of material economic and market factors on the decision-making process. Since trades have not actually been executed, results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity, and may not reflect the impact that certain economic or market factors may have had on the decision-making process. Further, backtesting allows the security selection methodology to be adjusted until past returns are maximized. Actual performance may differ significantly from backtested performance. Future returns are not guaranteed and a loss of principal may occur.
Backtested results are adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income to rebalance the portfolio and are presented net-of-fees, as described below. No cash balance or cash flow is included in the calculation. Results assume that SoFi Wealth would have been able to purchase the securities recommended by the model and the markets were sufficiently liquid to permit all trading. Changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on the backtested returns presented. Certain assumptions have been made for modeling purposes and are unlikely to be realized. No representations and warranties are made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions. This information is provided for illustrative purposes only.
SoFi Indices:
SoFi Wealth constructed the indices presented using a series of ETF’s that follow a set of rules of ownership that are held constant regardless of market conditions and that mirror holdings currently maintained in the SoFi Wealth model portfolios. An important characteristic of an index fund is that its rules of ownership are not based on a forecast of short-term events. Therefore, an investment strategy that is limited to the buying and rebalancing of a portfolio of index funds is often referred to as passive investing, as opposed to active investing. Simulated index data is based on the performance of live ETF’s.
Performance results assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and monthly rebalancing at the end of each month. The monthly return is calculated with the assumption that the SoFi index is perfectly in balance at the end of each month. In actual SoFi portfolios, rebalancing occurs at no set time, and such actions are dependent on both market conditions and individual client liquidity inflows and outflows, along with the cost impact of such transactions on the overall portfolio.
All of the securities used in the SoFi indices were not available during the time period presented.
No taxes are taken into account—chart assumes the account used to invest is a nontaxable account that is an ongoing concern throughout the period presented.
Representative indexing of SoFi Wealth’s conservative strategy underperforms the associated benchmark due to short duration bias and concentration of fixed income.
Benchmarks
Benchmarks have been constructed using combinations of MSCI ACWI and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate (Dollar Hedged”) Total Return index, blended to represent the weighting of equity and fixed income allocations maintained in the associated SoFi Index. Benchmark construction is intended to capture the approximate equivalent risk between the benchmark and the associated SoFi index. References to market or composite indices, benchmarks or other measures of relative market performance over a specified period of time are provided for your information only. Reference to an index does not imply that we believe a SoFi Wealth portfolio will achieve returns, volatility or other results similar to the index. The composition of a benchmark may not reflect the manner in which a SoFi Index is constructed in relation to expected or achieved returns, investment holdings, portfolio guidelines, restrictions, sectors, correlations, concentrations, volatility or tracking error targets, all of which are subject to change over time.
Performance results assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and monthly rebalancing at the end of each month. The monthly return is calculated with the assumption that the benchmark is perfectly in balance at the end of each month. The performance of the benchmark reflects and is net of the effect of an assumed “average mutual fund fee” of 52 basis points, which was expressed in the Morningstar 2017 Fee Study. Although index mutual funds minimize tax liabilities from short and long-term capital gains, any resulting tax liability is not deducted from performance results. Performance results also do not reflect transaction fees and other expenses, which reduce returns. Performance results assumes the reinvestment of dividends, interest and other earnings and are time-weighted based on monthly portfolio valuations for all periods.
The volatility of a benchmark index may be materially different from the individual performance attained by a specific investor. In addition, strategy holdings may differ significantly from the securities that comprise the index. The index has not been selected to represent an appropriate benchmark with which to compare an investor’s performance, but rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of the SoFi Indices’ performance to that of certain well-known and widely recognized index. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Risks:
All investments are subject to risk, which should be considered prior to making and investment decisions.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
ETFs are open-end investment companies, unit investment trusts or depository receipts that hold portfolios of stocks, commodities and/or currencies that commonly are designed, before expenses, to closely track the performance and dividend yield of (i) a specific index, (ii) a basket of securities, commodities or currencies, or (iii) a particular commodity or currency. The types of indices commonly sought to be replicated by ETFs most often include domestic equity indices, fixed income indices, sector indices and foreign or international indices. ETF shares are traded on exchanges and are traded and priced throughout the trading day. ETFs permit an investor to purchase a selling interest in a portfolio of stocks throughout the trading day. Because ETFs trade on an exchange, they may not trade at NAV. Sometimes, the prices of ETFs may vary significantly from the NAVs of the ETFs’ underlying securities. Additionally, if an investor decides to redeem ETF shares rather than selling them on a secondary market, the investor may receive the underlying securities which must be sold in order to obtain cash.
Equity
Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and mutual funds that invest in these securities. Equity markets can be volatile. Stock prices rise and fall based on changes in an individual company’s financial condition and overall market conditions. Stock prices can decline significantly in response to adverse market conditions, company-specific events, and other domestic and international political and economic developments.
Fixed Income
Fixed income securities include corporate bonds, municipal bonds, other debt instruments and mutual funds that invest in these securities. Issuers generally pay a fixed, variable, or floating interest rate, and must repay the amount borrowed at maturity. Some debt instruments, such as zero-coupon bonds, do not pay current interest, but are sold at a discount from their face value. Prices of fixed income securities generally decline when interest rates rise, and rise when interest rates fall. Longer-term debt and zero-coupon bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes than debt instruments with shorter maturities. Fixed income securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the chance that an issuer will fail to pay interest or principal on time. Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs). These NRSROs assign ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Changes in the credit strength of an issuer may reduce the credit rating of its debt investments and may affect their value. High-quality debt instruments are rated at least AA or its equivalent by any NRSRO or are unrated debt instruments of equivalent quality. Issuers of high-grade debt instruments are considered to have a very strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Investment grade debt instruments are rated at least Baa or its equivalent by any NRSRO or are unrated debt instruments of equivalent quality. Baa rated securities are considered to have adequate capacity to pay principal and interest, although they also have speculative characteristics. Lower rated debt securities are more likely to be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions than higher rated debt securities.
U.S. Government Securities
U.S. Government securities include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury; issued by a U.S. Government agency; or issued by a Government-Sponsored Enterprise (GSE). U.S. Treasury securities include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, (i.e., Treasury bills, notes and bonds). U.S. Government agency bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury (such as securities of the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or Ginnie Mae)). GSE bonds are issued by certain federally-chartered but privately-owned corporations, but are neither direct obligations of, nor backed by the full faith and credit of, the U.S. Government. GSE bonds include: bonds issued by Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB), Federal Farm Credit Banks (FCS), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or Freddie Mac) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA or Fannie Mae).
International Securities
International investments involve additional risks you should be aware of, which include differences in financial accounting standards, currency fluctuations, political instability, foreign taxes and regulations, news that can trigger volatile conditions, and the potential for illiquid markets. Small cap companies in these markets may react with greater volatility in reaction to activities in those markets. It is more difficult to obtain reliable information about some foreign securities. The costs of investing in some foreign markets may be higher than investing in domestic markets. Investments in foreign securities also are subject to currency fluctuations.
Definitions:
Asset Class
Asset Class is a standard term that broadly defines a category of investments. The three basic asset classes are Cash, Bonds (fixed income), and Stocks (equity). Bonds and Stocks are often further subdivided into more narrowly defined classes. Some of the most common asset classes are defined below.
Cash and Cash Alternatives
Cash typically includes bank accounts or certificates of deposit, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a limit per account. Cash Alternatives typically include money market securities, U.S. treasury bills, and other investments that are readily convertible to cash, have a stable market value, and a very short-term maturity. U.S. Treasury bills are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and, when held to maturity, provide safety of principal. (See the “Risks Inherent in Investing” section in this Important Disclosure Information for a summary of the risks associated with investing in cash alternatives.)
Bonds
Bonds are either domestic (U.S.) or global debt securities issued by either private corporations or governments. (See the “Risks Inherent in Investing” section in this Important Disclosure Information for a summary of the risks associated with investing in bonds. Bonds are also called “fixed income securities.”) Domestic government bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and have superior liquidity and, when held to maturity, safety of principal. Domestic corporate bonds carry the credit risk of their issuers and thus usually offer additional yield. Domestic government and corporate bonds can be sub-divided based upon their term to maturity. Short-term bonds have an approximate term to maturity of 1 to 5 years; intermediate-term bonds have an approximate term to maturity of 5 to 10 years; and, long-term bonds have an approximate term to maturity greater than 10 years.
Stocks
Stocks are equity securities of domestic and foreign corporations. (See the “Risks Inherent in Investing” section in this Important Disclosure Information for a summary of the risks associated with investing in stocks.) Domestic stocks are equity securities of U.S. corporations. Domestic stocks are often
sub-divided based upon the market capitalization of the company (the market value of the company’s stock). “Large cap” stocks are from larger companies, “mid cap” from the middle range of companies, and “small cap” from smaller, perhaps newer, companies. Generally, small cap stocks experience greater market volatility than stocks of companies with larger capitalization. Small cap stocks are generally those from companies whose capitalization is less than $500 million, mid cap stocks those between $500 million and $5 billion, and large cap over $5 billion.
Large cap, mid cap and small cap may be further sub-divided into “growth” and “value” categories. Growth companies are those with an orientation towards growth, often characterized by commonly used metrics such as higher price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios. Analogously, value companies are those with an orientation towards value, often characterized by commonly used metrics such as lower price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios.
International stocks are equity securities from foreign corporations. International stocks are often sub-divided into those from “developed” countries and those from “emerging markets.” The emerging markets are in less developed countries with emerging economies that may be characterized by lower income per capita, less developed infrastructure and nascent capital markets. These “emerging markets” usually are less economically and politically stable than the “developed markets.”

SoFi customers (“members”) may be eligible for a Member Rate and/or a $500 Loan Processing Fee Discount ($1,495 Non Member) on certain loan types if they meet the eligibility criteria and any other applicable terms and conditions. SoFi reserves the right to discontinue or modify the Member Rate and/or Loan Processing Fee Discounts at any time and without notice. Such changes or modifications will only apply to applications begun after the effective date of the change. If you’ve got questions about how we do our thing, we’ve got answers in our FAQs.
Existing eligible SoFi Members with a SoFi Personal Loan, Student Loan or who have a $50,000 minimum balance in their SoFi Invest account, can receive a $500 discount on SoFi’s Home Loan Processing Fee ($1,495 Non Members) on their first mortgage with SoFi.
The Member Rate and/or Loan Processing Fee Discounts are only offered on new loans of a different type from loans previously or currently held by members, thus it would not apply to another loan of the same type, and does not apply more than once per product. For example, an existing or prior SoFi Personal Loan borrower is not eligible to receive the Member Rate Discount on a second SoFi Personal Loan.
SoFi Invest members are eligible to receive the Member Rate Discount on a SoFi Personal Loan, Student Loan Refinance, or Private Student Loan if they have a minimum balance of $10,000 in their SoFi Invest accounts at the time they begin their loan application. SoFi home loans are not eligible for rate discounts.
SoFi Invest members are eligible to receive the Member Fee Discount of $500 on a SoFi Home Loan ($1,495 Non Member) if they have and maintain a minimum balance of $50,000 in their SoFi Invest accounts at the time they begin their SoFi Home Loan application.

SoFi provides a service to employers to facilitate the employer making contributions to their employees’ student loan accounts. If you are an employee participating in your employer’s program, you must agree to SoFi’s Terms of Use, privacy notice, and other terms and conditions at registration.
Employer contributions to an employee’s student loan can save the employee money by paying-down the principal and reducing interest costs over the life of the loan that accrues on the outstanding balance or by paying-off the loan sooner.
On our website and in materials, we refer to “lifetime savings” employees might realize from an employer’s contribution. The actual amount saved for any individual will depend upon many factors, such as the interest rate of the loan, the amount and frequency of the employer’s contribution, and how long the loan remains unpaid. We offer estimates of savings to illustrate how an employer contribution can deliver substantial value to the employee over time.
11. The Financial Education Awareness Council (FEAC) is a group of experienced and passionate financial aid administrators that have volunteered to assist SoFi with our financial education efforts. Their participation in FEAC does not imply any endorsement or recommendation of SoFi on behalf of their schools. None of the FEAC representatives are compensated by SoFi. *To check the rates and terms you qualify for, SoFi conducts a soft credit inquiry. Unlike hard credit inquiries, soft credit inquiries (or soft credit pulls) do not impact your credit score. Soft credit inquiries allow SoFi to show you what rates and terms SoFi can offer you up front. After seeing your rates, if you choose a product and continue your application, we will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit inquiry. Hard credit inquiries (or hard credit pulls) are required for SoFi to be able to issue you a loan. In addition to requiring your explicit permission, these credit pulls may impact your credit score.
10. Any unpaid interest will be capitalized and added to your principal balance at the end of the deferment period. Maximum deferment period is six months.

Social Finance, Inc. and its affiliates, including SoFi Lending Corp, Sofi Securities LLC, SoFi Wealth LLC and SoFi Capital Advisors, LLC, is committed to providing continuous, quality service to our members and maintains a business continuity plan in order to minimize customer impact in the event of a business disruption. In the event of a significant business disruption, SoFi uses our business continuity management program to prioritize the recovery of critical business and technology functions. We accomplish this by: 1) re-routing service activities to available locations across the country; 2) relocating impacted businesses to recovery locations, as needed; 3) designing our technology and systems to support the recovery processes for critical business functions; 4) designating a crisis management team and recovery leaders responsible for activating and executing on the business continuity plan; and 5) adopting a communication plan to ensure that relevant updates are provided to our employees, customers, regulators and other key stakeholders.
While no contingency plan can eliminate all risk of a business interruption, SoFi has taken significant steps to develop and implement sound recovery plans. SoFi tests its plans on a regular basis and requires updates and approvals of the plans on at least an annual basis.
This disclosure is subject to modification without notice.
