Morgan Asset Management that seeks high total return with a gradual shift to current income and capital appreciation as it approaches and passes the 2050 target retirement date. The fund provides exposure to a diversified mix of equity, fixed income, and cash equivalents through investments in underlying J.P.

Recent developments include a 2 percentage point reduction in equity allocations for funds dated 2035 or later in 2024 based on retirement research indicating lower risk needs to achieve goals; implementation of a post-target-date merger into the SmartRetirement Income Fund starting November 2024 while retaining SmartSpending guidance via online tools; and the August 2024 launch of the SmartRetirement Lifetime Income solution in partnership with Equitable, enhancing retirement income options through a stable value structure and lifetime payments from participating insurers.
