Multi-fund individual portfolios
The investments below are all-in-one portfolios that can be considered for K–12 goals. Each portfolio is designed for a certain time frame until you need the money.
Consider one or more of the individual portfolios based on the number of years until you need that portion of your money and your comfort level with risk. Select each portfolio to get more information, including risk and asset mix, for that portfolio only.
Because these individual portfolios are static, you should revisit your asset allocation each year and reallocate your investments if your risk tolerance or time horizon has changed.
Risk
Usually refers to investment risk, which is a measure of how likely it is that you could lose money in an investment. However, there are other types of risk when it comes to investing.
Asset mix
The way an investment portfolio is divided among the various asset classes of stocks, bonds, and short-term reserves. Also called "asset allocation."
Time horizon
The amount of time, usually expressed in years, that an investor expects to hold an investment.
