ETFs are subject to risk similar to those of stocks, and trading prices may not reflect the actual net asset value of the underlying securities. “Target Date” refers to a time in the future, generally a specified year, in which the investor expects to retire or otherwise require the use of the invested funds. Target date funds are generally more aggressive the further the target date is from the present, with an objective of capital appreciation. As the target date approaches, the fund’s objective will generally become more conservative, aiming to achieve a higher level of capital preservation. Investors should note that although target date funds aim to preserve capital as the target date approaches, there is no guarantee that the fund will achieve this objective Amerivest is an investment advisory service of Amerivest Investment Management, LLC, an SEC-registered investment advisor.
