The Active Enrollment Year Investment Portfolios are intended for those who prefer to invest primarily in portfolios that are actively managed. An actively managed fund has a portfolio manager or a team of managers who, through the combination of research, market forecasting, experience and expertise, actively manage the fund in an attempt to beat a particular benchmark (usually a broad index). Depending on the manager and fees charged, active management provides the opportunity to outperform the market.


Risk level

Risk level shifts from aggressive to conservative as the beneficiary approaches enrollment.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and are net of all fees and expenses. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Your returns and the principal value of your account will fluctuate, so your investment may be worth more or less than the original value when you withdraw your money. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Investors cannot invest directly in a benchmark.

All performance figures in the table, with the exception of the performance figures in the year-to-date column, represent the average annual compound rate of the total return. All figures in the year-to-date column represent cumulative, nonannualized returns.
