More information on RDF's
  The suggested RDF above is based on your FRS normal retirement age and is the default method we use to assign RDF's for new Investment Plan members who have not chosen an investment fund.

RDF's are a series of "fund of funds" that are designed to offer diversified portfolios for members who would rather use professionally managed asset allocation funds than to build their own retirement portfolios. The RDF's seek favorable long-term returns through investments in other FRS Investment Plan investment funds according to an allocation model known as a "glidepath".   The "glidepath" was developed by a fiduciary to the FRS based on the demographics, including ages and salary levels, of current FRS members. The glidepath is designed to provide younger members who have longer remaining work careers with more opportunities for asset growth early in their career, and gradually reduce the risks so that older members can achieve more income oriented investments, and some hedging against inflation as they near the end of their careers.

RDF's do not provide guaranteed income or payouts, nor do they ensure that you will be able to save enough to be able to retire in the year identified in the name or that the total assets in your account will be enough to cover your expenses throughout retirement.
 
RDF's are designed to provide a single Fund whose asset allocation changes over time and becomes more conservative as you near retirement age. In general, you should choose only one RDF and not split your assets among multiple RDF's.

For more information on RDF's, including in-depth information on each fund's characteristics and individual allocations, please visit the "Investment Funds" section on MyFRS.com.
