Prudential Retirement is now offering defined contribution plans its guaranteed income solution with American Century Investments' line-up of target-date funds: Prudential IncomeFlex Target with LIVESTRONG Portfolios.
LIVESTRONG Portfolios are diversified, time-based portfolios that automatically adjust as their target goal date approaches. A portfolio target date is the approximate year when investors plan to start withdrawing their money. The principal value of the investment is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date.
Each target-date portfolio seeks the highest total return consistent with its asset mix. Each year, the asset mix and weightings are adjusted to be more conservative. In general, as the target year approaches, the portfolio's allocation becomes more conservative by decreasing the allocation to stocks and increasing the allocation to bonds and money market instruments.

By the time each fund reaches its target year, its target asset mix will become fixed and will match that of the LIVESTRONG Income Portfolio.
