Retiring on target
Target date funds are designed to provide a simple, single fund solution for retirement investing. You pick a fund whose target date is similar to the date you intend to retire. The fund adjusts its asset allocation based on the target date, with higher risk/return allocations when the target date is far in the future, then reducing risk as the target date gets closer.
The ETFs shown below adjust the fund's asset mix over time to provide a risk/return profile appropriate for the indicated target date.
Expense ratios shown in the table below are gross.
