If you’re a Do-It-For-Me or Help-Me-Do-It investor, you may want to consider an option that helps you simplify your overall retirement strategy. The specific choices available can vary based on your plan but generally include Help-Me-Do-It options, such as target date funds or risk-based funds, or Do-It-For-Me options, such as a professionally managed account.2
If you're a Do-It-Myself investor, you may want to build your portfolio with the individual core funds that are included as part of your plan. By following some basic investing principles, you can choose a diversified mix of investments to match your risk tolerance.
No matter your investment type, your plan gives you options to create a retirement savings strategy to fit your unique needs.
