CITY OF EUGENE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAM Make Saving Easy with Target Date Retirement Funds Updated 6/2/15

Target Date Retirement Funds You lead a busy life It can be hard to find the time to focus on your retirement plan. That’s why the City’s Deferred Compensation Plan includes Vanguard Target Retirement Funds. These funds are a simple way to invest throughout your career and into retirement. A single Target Retirement Fund can serve as a complete, diversified retirement portfolio.

Target Date Retirement Funds How Target Retirement Funds work Each Target Retirement Fund invests in several Vanguard funds, primarily low-cost index funds, to create a broadly diversified mix of stocks and bonds. The year in a Target Retirement Fund’s name is its target date, the approximate year in which an investor in the fund expects to retire and leave the workforce. Keep in mind that a Target Retirement Fund is subject to the risks of its underlying funds. Its returns are not guaranteed, and investing in one does not ensure that you will have enough income in retirement.

Target Date Retirement Funds *Approximate allocation targets for each fund as of May As time passes, allocations for the date-specific funds will gradually shift their emphasis toward a more conservative allocation (from stocks to bonds) over time based on an assumed retirement age of 65.

A Quick Target Date Q & A Q: What are Target Retirement Funds? A: Target Retirement Funds are broadly diversified funds that gradually and automatically shift to more conservative investments as you get closer to retirement. Because each Target Retirement Fund is a complete investment package, a single fund can serve as your entire plan portfolio. Keep in mind that although Target Retirement Funds can simplify investment selection, all mutual fund investing is subject to risk. In addition, Target Retirement Funds are subject to the risks associated with their underlying funds. For instance, investments in bond funds are subject to interest rate, credit, and inflation risk. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market. Q: How are Target Retirement Funds invested? A: Each Target Retirement Fund invests in up to seven broadly diversified Vanguard funds—most of which are index-based. Vanguard’s long history includes the introduction of the first index mutual fund for individual investors in Q: Is a Target Retirement Fund appropriate for a new investor? A: Yes, because you have potentially only one decision to make—what year you expect to retire. Vanguard does the rest, assembling and managing a mix of investments appropriate for your stage of retirement planning.

A Quick Target Date Q & A Q: Is a Target Retirement Fund appropriate for an experienced investor who has limited time to manage his or her money? A: Yes. Target Retirement Funds allow you to implement sophisticated investing strategies while leaving the time-consuming details of portfolio management to Vanguard. Target Retirement Funds allow you to take advantage of Vanguard’s years of experience as one of the world’s largest investment management companies. Q: Can I lose money in a Target Retirement Fund? A: Yes. As with most investments, Vanguard Target Retirement Funds can go up and down in value based on market fluctuations. However, Vanguard manages the funds with your long-term goal of retirement in mind, while keeping a strict focus on appropriate diversification and low costs. Your fund’s investments automatically become more conservative as you approach and enter retirement.
