IFA provides a prudent investment selection process coupled with a disciplined approach to long-term performance creating a retirement investment platform that suits the needs of any investor through the following portfolio options:
IFA's 100 Index Portfolios are globally diversified across 45 countries and over 13,000 companies, and, built in accordance with Nobel Prize winning research and evidence-based analysis of historic stock market data.
IFA's asset allocation models are designed to capture the six dimensions of risk exposures that historically have been associated with higher expected returns over very long periods of time and match them with their individual risk capacity. General asset allocations for 10 of these portfolios are presented below. The portfolios are labeled 5 through 100 in five-point increments. IFA Index Portfolio 5, which is designed with the lowest anticipated risk exposure and return potential, is tilted toward fixed income with a minor investment in stock. Conversely, IFA Index Portfolio 100, which is designed with the highest anticipated risk exposure and return potential, has no fixed income and the stock indexes are tilted toward small and value companies in the U.S. and international markets.
Target Date Index Portfolios may be an appropriate investment option for some investors because they provide a one-step investment solution.
They are designed to be a buy-and-hold, lifetime investment.
Investors only need to select the target date that is closest to the year they plan to retire. These strategies provide investors access to a series of globally diversified stock and bond allocations that generally become more conservative over time. The portfolios generally reduce equity exposure over time by decreasing allocations to stocks.
Among the fund options offered by IFA, the option is available for the investors who would like to build their own portfolio asset allocation.
