TDX Independence 2030 ETF (TDN) is one in a series of Independence Lifecycle ETFs that serve as a one-stop solution to target date investing. The Fund seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, of the Zacks 2030 Lifecycle Index, an index of securities from three broad asset classes: international equities, domestic equities, and fixed income securities. TDN is a fully diversified portfolio, managed to the specific year of 2030. The asset mix of each portfolio changes gradually over time. Assets in TDN will be adjusted accordingly as the target date approaches, from a more aggressive allocation, emphasizing greater equity exposure, to a more conservative allocation emphasizing fixed income exposure.
At inception, TDN has a moderately aggressive allocation to risk-based securities, such as domestic and international equities. Balances move automatically down the risk glide path to arrive at a conservative allocation in the year 2030. As a moderately aggressive fund, the initial allocation was approximately 22% in international equities, 66% in domestic equities and 12% in fixed income. Balances then follow the TDN’s glide path, from an estimated 88% equity exposure to 10% in the year 2030. In the five years after the target date, TDN gradually increases its risk exposure to match that of the Lipper Conservative Funds Index. TDN then replicates the Lipper equity allocation (currently 33%) on a static basis, to perpetuity.
