When you’ll need your money influences how you choose to invest it.
If you have 10 years or more to invest, you likely want to focus on growth. If you need your money in the near term, or for income in retirement, you may start to focus more on preserving your savings and limiting risk.
Working toward a specific date provides perspective.
Having a target date makes it easier to design an investment plan that reflects both where you are and where you’re going.
