The Moderate Enrollment Year Portfolios are intended for those who prefer to invest primarily in index mutual funds and ETFs across a mix of equity, real estate, fixed income, and bank deposits. There are two sets of Passive Enrollment Year Portfolios that are distinguished by their relative risk levels: Aggressive Enrollment Year Portfolios and Moderate Enrollment Year Portfolios. Each Moderate Enrollment Year Portfolio allocates more assets to fixed income and bank deposits than the Aggressive Enrollment Year Portfolio with corresponding enrollment years.
Risk level
Asset allocation shifts from equity-based to fixed income-/cash-based as the beneficiary approaches enrollment.
