- Primarily intended for investors who are retired, expect to retire within a short time or otherwise intend to seek withdrawals from invested assets or seek to hold over an indefinite time frame a diversified, balanced portfolio with exposure to equity (including real estate securities, e.g., REITs) and fixed-income asset classes
- Invests in ETFs exchange-traded funds that seek to track a specific securities index or basket of securities*
- Provides investors with a sophisticated risk-management strategy and cost-effective diversification**
* Underlying ETFs generally will not be able to duplicate exactly the performance of the underlying indexes they seek to track, which can be due to, among other factors, the expenses that the Underlying ETF pays, regulatory constraints, investment strategies or techniques undertaken by an Underlying ETF (e.g., options and futures) and changes to an underlying index. In addition, there may exist a lack of correlation between the securities in an index and those actually held by an Underlying ETF, as well as a lack of correlation between the asset classes used to develop Seligmans asset allocation methodology and the Underlying ETFs.
** Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. A typical investor would incur lower costs through an investment in Seligman TargETFunds (which includes professional portfolio management based on Seligmans proprietary Time Horizon Matrix research) as compared to a direct investment (without professional portfolio management) in the same ETFs held by the Seligman TargETFunds. Such cost comparison takes into consideration transaction costs, sales charges, and expenses, as applicable.
