PortfolioXpress® is a registered service mark under license to Transamerica. PortfolioXpress presents a series of asset allocation models up to and through a designated retirement year. You are solely responsible for choosing the retirement year. In implementing the service, you agree to each of the asset allocation mixes and automated rebalancing transactions that will take place over time within your account as you approach the selected retirement year. If you sign up, you should carefully review the service agreement for additional information regarding fees and other terms and conditions that may apply to this service. Retirement date portfolios are subject to the same risks as the underlying asset classes in which they invest. The higher the portfolio’s allocation is to stocks, the greater the risk. The principal value of the portfolio is not guaranteed at any time, including at and after the target date.
