Stocks may be held directly by a purchaser or can also be available through investment vehicles, such as an Exchange Traded Fund (ETFs). Each TargetFit glide path line represents the midpoint between the maximum and minimum equity exposure. Actual equity and bonds and/or cash equivalents allocations are expected to be different from the graphic shown. The graphic does not presume any investment performance or result. Investments are subject to risk and may lose value.
