What model portfolios are offered?

The model portfolios, listed from lowest to highest risk levels, include:

Conservative

For the Investor who seeks to allocate a large percentage of their portfolio to lower-risk securities such as fixed-income securities.  The main goal of a conservative portfolio is to protect the principal value of your portfolio. That is why these models are often called “capital preservation portfolios.”  Even if you are very conservative and are tempted to avoid the stock market entirely, some risk exposure in selected funds can help offset inflation.  Suggested time horizon for this risk allocation is at least 5 years.

Moderately Conservative

For the Investor who seeks to preserve most of the portfolio’s total value but is willing to take on some risk for inflation protection. A common strategy within this risk level is called “current income.”  This includes securities that pay a higher level of dividends.  The suggested investor’s time horizon least 5 to 8 years. 

Balanced

For the Investor who seeks a balance between preservation of account value and portfolio risk.  The goal is a near even split between low risk fix-income securities and higher-risk growth securities.  This strategy also includes securities that pay a higher level of dividends.  The Investor’s time horizon for investing should be medium term or greater than 8 years.

Moderately Aggressive

For the Investor who has a longer-term strategy (greater than 10 years) and willing to take a medium to higher level of risk to achieve portfolio growth, while still diversifying the portfolio by including fixed-income securities.  The strategy is often called “capital growth” strategy.  To provide diversification, the portfolio includes fix-income securities.

Aggressive

For the investor with a long-term investment strategy (greater than 12 to 15 years) and willing to accept their portfolio value can fluctuates widely from day-to-day.  Your main goal is to achieve long-term growth of capital. The strategy of an aggressive portfolio is considered a “capital growth” strategy. To provide diversification, investors with aggressive portfolios usually add some fixed-income securities.

In addition to the aforementioned model portfolios, account holders can also create their own customized portfolio from the approved fund list.
