Investment and Insurance products are:

  • Not Insured by the FDIC or Any Federal Government Agency
  • Not a Deposit or Other Obligation of, or Guaranteed by Credit Union or Bank
  • Subject to Investment Risks, Including Possible Loss of the Principal Amount Invested

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

Asset allocation and diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. Additionally there is no guarantee this investment option will provide adequate income at or through retirement. Equity investment options involve greater risk, including heightened volatility, than fixed-income investment options. Fixed-income investments are subject to interest rate risk; as interest rates rise their value will decline. International and global investing involves greater risks such as currency fluctuations, political/social instability and differing accounting standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Fixed-income and asset allocation investment options that invest in mortgage securities are subject to increased risk due to real estate exposure. The performance and risks of a fund of funds directly correspond to the performance and risks of the underlying funds in which the fund invests.

There is no guarantee that a target date investment will provide adequate income at or through retirement. A target date fund's (TDF) glide path is typically set to align with a retirement age of 65, which may be your plan's normal retirement date (NRD). If your plan's NRD/age is different, the plan may default you to a TDF based on the plan's NRD/Age. Participants may choose a TDF that does not match the plan's intended retirement date but instead aligns more to their investment risk. Compare the different TDF's to see how the mix of investments shift based on the TDF glide path.
