2 Target allocations for Personal Strategy+ accounts will be built in an attempt to align with the fundamental asset allocation of the Client’s Personal Strategy. In alignment with this general approach to investing, preference will generally go to selecting low-cost passive index funds over actively managed mutual funds for otherwise similar plan options. Funds are selected within the context of their overall fit in the portfolio allocation and how well they represent a particular asset class that the Personal Strategy is aiming to replicate. The investment selection process involves a cost/benefit analysis that takes into consideration cost, diversification benefits, risk, return, our preference for unaffiliated products, and plan constraints. There will be allocation and performance differences between a Client’s Personal Strategy+ employer-sponsored retirement account(s) and the Client’s core Personal Strategy account(s).
