Why is a range of investment options so important?
Your choice of investment options should be based on your personal investment strategy and your tolerance for risk. The new plan gives you more flexibility to choose funds that meet your personal criteria. If you are comfortable making your own asset allocation decisions, you might want to explore the commingled fund accounts now being offered. You can mix and match these accounts to build your own portfolio. If you are not comfortable making asset allocation choices, then you may want to consider investing in one of the “target date” funds offered by Barclays Global Investors (BGI LifePath® Portfolios). Either way, you should choose the investment options that are right for you.
