Our research process is backed by trusted data from our parent company,Morningstar, Inc. From there, we evaluate each potentialholding using a proprietary methodology. Only thosewith our highest conviction make it into your portfolio.Active ManagementBecause markets are in constant motion, we don’ttake a ‘set it and forget it’ approach.

We meet one-on-one withfund managers, asking detailed questions to uncoverhow they make decisions. We look for those who’eat their own cooking’ by investing their own personalsavings in the funds they oversee.Inside Our Investment ProcessEach portfolio is created using a continual, five-step process.33 Capital Markets Assumptions 3 S trategic and DynamicAsset AllocationIbbotson Associates’ respectedasset class research formsIn this step, we use Ibbotsonthe building blocks of our portresearch to develop anfolios—starting withefficient asset allocation mixreal-world data on how assetdesigned to maximize returnclasses perform over time.for a given level of risk.3 Manager SelectionOur investment professionalsmeet personally withmanagers and evaluate theirinvestment styles using afive-pillar system to identifythe most appropriatestrategies to include inour portfolios.

Morningstar Investment ServicesMutual FundPortfoliosRetirement IncomeDesigned for all stages of retirement, each model portfolioin the series follows a targeted, endowment-likeapproach to help support the shift from accumulating assetsto spending them.

Risk-managed portfolios for each stage of retirementWe created the Retirement Income series of portfolios to help deliver a mixof capital appreciation and income to support your spending needs as you moveinto retirement.The Shift Into RetirementRetirees often face a quandary—preserving wealthwhile achieving the growth needed to sustainfuture withdrawals. To help ease the shift into retirement, the portfolios aim to strike a balancebetween capital stability and growth by spreadinginvestments across a broad range of assetclasses. This helps support regular payouts withoutcourting some risks common to other incomeoriented strategies.Inside the Retirement Income PortfoliosTo help meet the targeted spending goals, the Retirement Income portfolios invest in stock,bond, and alternative mutual funds, with each type of fund playing its own valuable role.Stocks: Growth3 Stocks of companies large andsmall, the world over3 Emphasize undervalued, not justhigh-yielding, stocks3 Aim to responsibly compoundportfolio valueBonds: Stability3 Widely diversified across sectors,geographies3 Emphasize total return, not yield alone3 Aim to generate income, stabilizeportfolio value Alternatives: Manage Volatility3 Different than traditional stock orbond funds3 Returns less sensitive to broadmarket currents3 Aim to further diversify, cushion portfoliosThe Total Return AdvantageMany “income” strategies rely on high-yielding bonds,dividend-paying stocks, or complex securities togenerate payouts. Investors often like this approach,as it suggests income payments alone can fundtheir spending—without dipping into principal. Yet suchincome strategies can court excessive risks, withthe potential for jarring volatility. By contrast, a “totalreturn” approach aims to both generate incomeand grow capital, helping retirees avoid the shortcomings of singularly income-focused approaches.Endowment-Like ApproachThe portfolios adapt an approach widely used byuniversities and philanthropic organizations, who investacross a wide variety of asset classes to supporttheir future spending needs and reinvest the excess backinto the fund, reaping the benefits of compounding.Like endowments, the portfolios invest not just in traditional stocks and bonds, but also in less traditionalstrategies to help diversify and stabilize their returnswithout forsaking the opportunity for growth.Powerful Asset Class ResearchIn constructing the portfolios, we start with researchfrom our affiliate, Ibbotson Associates—a leadingauthority on asset allocation. They’ve shown that themix of assets in a portfolio can have a greaterimpact on investment returns than timing marketsor picking stocks, and they estimate the futurereturns and volatility of every asset class we includein the portfolios. This helps us set expectationsfor the spending rate each portfolio will support, andalter the mix of investments as needed.
