Risk level: Each target-risk model series includes between four and 11 levels of risk and is tailored for a specific objective, from capital preservation and income to aggressive growth.
Underlying funds: Our models use mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), or a combination (hybrid). We determine the most efficient mix of fund types for each objective.
Weighted average expenses: This is the range of operational expenses of the underlying holdings for each of the model series, as of 06/30/24.
Investment style: Our models use funds that seek to match the benchmark returns (passive), beat the benchmark (active), or provide exposure to smart beta or other factors — or a combination of these investment styles.
Special objectives: Several of our models are tailored for specific objectives, such as favoring companies with higher environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores or seeking to minimize capital gains and other taxable income.
Inception date: This is the starting date for the model series and its performance.
These models are designed for investors seeking to complement their existing core portfolio by adding specific exposures that are crafted for precise objectives.

Beta is a measure of risk representing how a security is expected to respond to general market movements. Smart beta represents an alternative and selection index-based methodology that seeks to outperform a benchmark or reduce portfolio risk, or both in active or passive vehicles. Asset allocation and diversification do not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risk of loss.
