Successful investing depends on three things: a goal, a diversified portfolio and staying the course with your long-term plan.
SHC’s Target Date Funds can help you with each of these important tasks, which may make it easier to reach your desired goals.
Asset allocation is your mix of stock, bond, and cash investments. It has the biggest impact on how your portfolio will perform over the long run, so it’s the most important investing decision you’ll have to make.
Target Date Funds make your initial asset allocation decision simple. Each fund has an asset mix that’s appropriate for someone planning to achieve a desired goal in the target year. Simply pick the fund with a target date and you get an allocation that’s appropriate for the number of years you have left to save.
For example, Target Date 2036 Fund is designed for investors who expect to achieve a desired goal in about 25 years. It currently invests mostly in stocks, which makes sense when a set goal is decades away. Even though stocks are riskier, they offer the best chance of growth. In contrast, SHC Target Date 2016 Fund is for investors who expect to achieve a desired goal soon, so it emphasizes on less risky bonds that produce income.
