How It Works

The Target Date Portfolio evolves with you, adjusting your investment strategy as you age. When you're younger, it focuses on growth, and as you get older, it gradually reduces risk, aiming to protect your savings.

At PensionBee, the Target Date Portfolio is our default plan, because we believe this is a great plan to build a happy retirement. But you are able to switch to another plan whenever you choose.

How SPY and MDY Help

Investment Breakdown

The Target Date Portfolio, powered by SPY and MDY, offers a diversified mix of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) across various asset classes, designed to provide a gradually shifting allocation that balances growth and risk as the target date approaches:

U.S. Equities: Includes large-cap stocks (SPY), small-cap stocks (SPSM), and mid-cap stocks (MDY), giving exposure to a range of U.S. companies from different size categories.
International Equities: Provides global diversification with investments in developed markets outside the U.S. (SPDW) and emerging markets (SPEM).
Bonds: The portfolio includes several bond ETFs, such as those focused on U.S. investment-grade bonds (SPAB), inflation-protected securities (TIPX), short-term bonds (SPSB), and senior loans (SPHY), offering varying levels of risk and return.
Total Market Exposure: SPTS gives broad exposure to the entire U.S. stock market, including large, mid, and small-cap stocks.
