Target Date Funds are designed for people who plan to begin withdrawing money during or near a specific target date like at retirement. These funds are designed to provide diversification and asset allocation across several types of investments and asset classes, primarily by investing in underlying funds. The Funds offer continuous rebalancing over time to become more conservative as investors approach their planned retirement date. In addition to the expenses of the Target Date Funds, an investor is indirectly paying a proportionate share of the applicable fees and expenses of the underlying funds. The principal value of the fund is not guaranteed at any time, including the target date.

Guarantees are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance companies.

Provisions of these options may vary based on plan selection and/or by state regulation. These investment options may not be available in all states.
