A well designed glide path

Although the target date portfolios are managed for investors on a projected retirement date time frame, the allocation strategy does not guarantee that investors’ retirement goals will be met. Investment professionals manage the portfolio, moving it from a more growth-oriented strategy to a more income-oriented focus as the target date gets closer. The target date is the year that corresponds roughly to the year in which an investor is assumed to retire and begin making withdrawals. Investment professionals continue to manage each portfolio for approximately 30 years after it reaches its target date.


Distinguishing characteristics of the glide path
  • Managed for approximately 30 years past retirement so investors could feasibly use a single fund for decades.
  • Meaningful equity exposure throughout retirement to help manage the risk of outliving savings.
  • Emphasizes dividends with the intent of providing more equity exposure without increasing volatility.

You should carefully consider the target fund you select. Generally, investors pick a fund with the year closest to the date on which they plan to retire. A 45-year-old investor who wishes to retire at age 65 might choose a target date fund with a date close to 20 years in the future. Similarly, a 55-year-old planning to retire at age 70 might choose a fund with a date around 15 years in the future. To provide protected lifetime income benefits, Lincoln may limit access to some funds that investors normally may have selected to match their retirement date.

Variable annuities are long-term investment products designed for retirement purposes and are subject to market fluctuation, investment risk and possible loss of principal. Variable annuities contain both investment and insurance components and have fees and charges, including mortality and expense, administrative and advisory fees. Optional features are available for an additional charge. The annuity’s value fluctuates with the market value of the underlying investment options, and all assets accumulate tax-deferred. Withdrawals of earnings are taxable as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59½, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax. Withdrawals will reduce the death benefit and cash surrender value.

 

Investors are advised to consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of the variable annuity and its underlying investment options carefully before investing. The applicable prospectuses for the variable annuity and its underlying investment options contain this and other important information. Please call 888-868-2583 for free prospectuses.
