FAQs
  

Aggressive Portfolio
When you want to take out all the stops and "go for it," this is the portfolio for you.  Equally weighted at home in the U.S. and abroad, this combination is a favorite of young investors with plenty of time before retirement and the ability to remain calm during market downturns.  It’s also suited for those on a fast track who want or need all the speed and distance they can get from their investments.  Because 100 percent of the portfolio is in equities, the only buffer against the slings and arrows of the market is time. But if you’ve got the time, this is the way to go.

Moderate Portfolio
This combination is a fine choice for many employees and especially for long-term investors. Its 60 percent weighting in equities gives it plenty of power for stock market growth, while the 40 percent in fixed-income provides stability and safety during declines in the market.  This portfolio is most suitable for investors with five or more years until they will need their money.

 

Conservative Portfolio
This combination stresses safety, with a mix of 40 percent equities and 60 percent fixed-income investments.  It is most suitable for investors who consider themselves conservative, who are close to or past the age of retirement or who, for whatever reason, care more about holding onto their money than making it grow.
