This product is a "fund of funds," implying that it invests in a range of other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) rather than directly in stocks, bonds, or other securities. These underlying funds are either sponsored by the Adviser or its affiliates, ensuring an integrated investment approach. The Target Retirement 2065 Fund is tailored for investors who are planning for retirement approximately 47 years from now, typically those who intend to cease making new investments into the fund at that time. The fund’s investment strategy is dynamically managed, with the objective of adjusting its asset allocation in accordance with the investor's stage in the retirement planning cycle — initially focusing on growth potenzial by investing more heavily in stocks and gradually shifting towards more conservative investments, like bonds, as the retirement date approaches. This transition aims to balance the need for growth with the need to reduce risk as retirement nears.
