Investments

Explore the broad range of investment options available to help you achieve your retirement goals.

About your investments

Your plan includes an investment lineup with a diverse array of options. These investment choices represent a broad spectrum of asset classes and risk/return characteristics to allow you to tailor your account to help meet your particular financial goals and match your investing style.

Target-date funds

To help meet the needs of those who perhaps don’t have the time or interest in creating their own investment portfolios, our lineup also includes target-date funds.

Target date funds let you choose a professionally allocated portfolio based on the target date of the fund. The target date is the approximate date when investors in the fund would expect to retire or begin taking withdrawals.

To learn more about any of the funds available in our investment line-up, Fund Fact Sheets are available via the links on this page. Select a fund name from the list to view a PDF ( ) that offers a closer look at more details about the fund’s performance, fees and underlying investments.
