Any guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing company. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Guarantees of fixed monthly payments are only associated with fixed annuities.
The ability to annuitize is subject to plan rules. Converting/Exchanging some or all of your savings to income benefits (referred to as “annuitization”) is a permanent decision. Once income benefit payments have begun, you are unable to change to another option.
Important information on risk
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. All investments carry a certain degree of risk, including the possible loss of principal, and there is no assurance that an investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. Certain products and services may not be available to all entities or persons. There is no guarantee that investment objectives will be achieved. See the applicable product literature for details.
A Target Date fund/CIT is a “fund of funds,” primarily invested in shares of other mutual funds. The fund’s investments are adjusted from more aggressive to more conservative over time as the target retirement date approaches. The principal value of a target-date fund/CIT isn’t guaranteed at any time, including at the target-date, and will fluctuate with market changes and investors may lose money. The target date represents an approximate date when investors may plan to begin withdrawing money from the fund. However, you are not required to withdraw the funds at that target date. After the target date has been reached, some of your money may be merged into a fund with more stable asset allocation. Also, please note that the target-date fund is selected for you based on your projected retirement date (assuming a retirement age of 65). Life Cycle funds share the risks associated with the types of securities held by each of the underlying funds in which they invest. In addition to the fees and expenses associated with the target-date funds, there is exposure to the fees and expenses associated with the underlying mutual funds as well. A Lifecycle fund/CIT may not achieve its target allocations and even if it does, the asset allocations may not achieve the desired risk-return characteristics and may result in the fund/CIT underperforming other similar funds/CITs.
Asset allocation and diversification do not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. Be sure to see the relevant prospectus or offering document for full discussion of a target date investment option including determination of when the portfolio achieves its most conservative allocation.
Additionally, there is no guarantee this investment option will provide adequate income at or through retirement.
