Creating the Investment line-up
In most cases, Planmark employs an “open architecture” approach when creating the fund line-up. This allows for ultimate flexibility when deciding what funds to include. The typical investment line-up will include:
- A suite of target date funds
- A selection of risk-based model portfolios
- A diversified selection of mutual funds spanning multiple asset classes for participants who desire to customize their own portfolio
