Investment Objective
The portfolio objective is to conserve principal while generating income at the time when a beneficiary may be using the account. Designed with a more conservative strategy, the portfolio seeks safety of principal by minimizing the risk associated with equity markets. Emphasizing investment in a mix of high-quality, liquid money market instruments and bond funds, this portfolio also has a modest allocation invested in an equity fund. The allocations reflect a lower-risk investment approach.
