TARGET
RETIREMENT INCOME ACCOUNT
Following is a summary of information
about the Target Retirement Income Account. Investors are
advised to learn key data about an investment prior to making
any investment decision.
Objective
The objective of this Account is to seek to current income.
Capital appreciation is a secondary objective. It is invested
solely in the Sentry Target Retirement Income Portfolio.
Investor Profile
The Target Retirement Income Account may be suitable for
investors who are approaching or are in retirement, and
seeking a high level of income and a simple way to achieve
a broadly diversified holding of stocks, real estate, and
fixed-income securities through the use of exchange traded
funds (ETFs). Individuals must be willing and able to accept
low to moderate fluctuations in unit price and have an intermediate
(more than three years) investment horizon.
Investment Strategy
Sentry Target Retirement Income Portfolio invests in seven
different asset classes by utilizing exchanged traded funds
(ETFs) and employing an asset allocation strategy designed
for investors currently in retirement. The Portfolio is
periodically rebalanced so that 80 percent of assets pursue
income and 20 percent pursue growth. Over time, asset classes
perform differently causing the Portfolio’s initial
asset allocation to become out of balance.
The portfolio is periodically rebalanced to smooth out the
highs and lows of investing in a single, volatile asset
class like large cap stocks.
Investment Considerations
The Target Retirement Income Account is subject to several
stock and bond market risks, any of which could cause an
investor to lose money. Rising interest rates would adversely
impact performance. However, given approximately 80 percent
of assets pursue income, the fund’s overall risk level
should be relatively low.
