Age-Based Portfolios

With age-based portfolios, deciding how to invest is easy. The asset allocation within each of our nine age-based portfolios is tailored for children in a particular age group. Assets are automatically adjusted from a more aggressive portfolio to a more conservative one as the child grows older and nears college age.
