Hear what our experts are saying about the market.

1 Lifestyle funds are subject to include asset allocation risk, active management risk and underlying fund risk. These funds are also subject to the risks of the underlying funds in which the fund invests in. This may include equity investment risk and fixed income investment risks. Be sure to reassess goals regularly and if your situation has changed, you may want to choose another lifestyle fund that more closely matches your new risk profile.
