The advisor employs an asset allocation strategy designed for investors planning to retire within a few years of the target year designated in the fund's name. The fund allocates its assets among investments in segments and underlying funds managed by the adviser or affiliated advisers and subadvisers that invest directly in securities. Its asset allocation will become more conservative over time by reducing its equity exposure and increasing its fixed-income exposure in accordance with a "glide path" until approximately 10 years following its target year.
