Fund Description
The Fund is a fund of funds that invests in various master portfolios (“Underlying Funds”), which in turn, invest in a combination of securities to gain exposure to equity and fixed income asset classes. The Fund gradually reduces its potential market risk exposures over time by generally re-allocating its assets among these asset classes, consistent with increasingly conservative strategic target allocations.
The equity Underlying Funds are each intended to provide exposure to a specific market segment. Those segments include U.S. large- and small-capitalization companies, and international (non-U.S.) developed and emerging markets. The U.S. large- and small-capitalization companies, international developed markets and emerging markets allocations each seek to add value above their respective broad market index, by employing a systematic, rules based methodology designed to build a portfolio of stocks that provides exposure to factors (or characteristics) commonly tied to a stock’s potential for enhanced risk-adjusted returns relative to the market. Those factors include, but are not limited to, value, quality, momentum, size, and low volatility.
The fixed income Underlying Funds provide diversified exposure across a wide range of market sectors, including U.S. Government obligations, corporate investment grade and below investment grade bonds (commonly known as “high yield bonds” or “junk bonds”), other U.S. aggregate bond sectors (including mortgage- and asset-backed securities), and emerging market foreign issues. The investment grade corporate bond allocation will be managed to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index. The below investment grade bond allocation will be managed to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index. The U.S. aggregate bond ex-corporate allocation, which includes mortgage- and asset-backed securities, will be managed to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate ex- Corporate Index, a traditional market-capitalization weighted index designed to provide diversified exposure to the allocation. The emerging markets bond allocation will be managed to replicate the performance of the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, an index that deviates from a traditional market capitalization weighting to provide more robust diversification across its constituent countries.
The Fund is primarily designed for investors expecting to retire and/or begin gradually withdrawing funds around its target date of 2050. As the Fund’s time horizon to its target date shortens, it generally replaces some of its equity holdings with fixed income holdings in an attempt to reduce market risk and thereby become more conservative in its asset allocation. This reallocation occurs according to a predetermined “glide path,” which was developed based on long-term capital market return expectations, actuarial assumptions about life expectancy and retirement, and assumptions about investors’ risk tolerance. The reallocation continues as the Fund’s target year approaches and for the first ten years afterward. The Fund’s target year of 2050 serves as a guide to the risk profile of the Fund, and your decision to invest in a Allspring Target Date Fund with a particular target year and risk profile depends on your individual risk tolerance, among other factors.
The Fund will not reach its lowest strategic target allocation to equities until ten years past the Fund’s target year. During the ten-year period after the Fund’s target year, the Fund’s asset allocation will increasingly resemble that of the Target Today Fund and at the end of the ten-year period, we will likely combine it with the Target Today Fund.
At their discretion, the Fund’s portfolio managers may make changes to the Fund’s glide path and asset allocation consistent with the Fund’s target year. Factors that the portfolio managers may consider include but are not limited to market trends, their outlook for a given market capitalization, and the Underlying Funds’ performance in various market conditions.
