1290 Retirement Funds Retirement planning may be as easy as asking yourself, When do I plan to retire? Select the 1290 Retirement Fund that lines up with your retirement date, and we ll take it from there. Retirement planning may be easier than you think, especially if you select one of the nine 1290 Retirement Funds, managed by 1290 Asset Managers. Each fund comes with a specific retirement target date and is guided by a strategic risk-management discipline which automatically shifts their allocation to anticipate the investor s risk tolerance at different stages of life. This shift is often called a glide path and means that, with investments that adjust over time, you ll have an age-appropriate balance between capital growth (equity investments, such as stocks) and capital preservation (fixed-income investments, such as bonds) as you approach and enter retirement. You make one decision. It s that easy. With a 1290 Retirement Fund, you simply choose the fund that best corresponds to your expected retirement date. If you re planning to retire in 2030 at age 65, choose 1290 Retirement Fund 2030. After that, the risk-management discipline takes over. That can simplify your investing all the way to retirement and beyond. 1-888-310-0416 www.1290funds.com
Selecting the right fund for Jane Let s say Jane is 34 years old today (born in 1984) and is planning to retire at age 65 (around year 2050). With 31 years until retirement, she would choose 1290 Retirement Fund 2050. Because she s so far from retirement, her asset allocation is close to 90% equities/10% fixed-income. If you were born in: Then invest in Retirement Fund for this target date* 1953-57 2020 1958-62 2025 1963-67 2030 1968-72 2035 1973-77 2040 1978-82 2045 1983-87 2050 1988-92 2055 1993 or later 2060 *Assumes expected retirement at age 65. How the glide path works As Jane gets older (and closer to retirement), her fund will slide down the glide-path, allocating fewer assets to equities and more to fixed-income as her allocation becomes more conservative. At age 55, for example, she s 10 years from retirement and has an allocation close to 70% equities/30% fixedincome. At retirement (age 65), her allocation is 50% equities/50% fixed-income. As she begins taking retirement income, her fund continues down the glide-path until it finally levels out 10 years after retirement at 20% stocks/80% bonds, with a relatively stable mix and a focus on supporting an income stream for the long-term. 1290 Retirement Funds: How asset classes shift over time 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% International Fixed Income Keep in mind 30% 20% 10% Domestic The allocation glide path assumes that the expected retirement year occurs at age 65; however, don t select a fund solely on the basis of your age or the target year. These funds are not designed for a lump sum redemption at the target year and do not guarantee a particular level of income. 0% 45 40 35 30 25 20 Years to Retirement 15 10 5 Retirement 5 Domestic International Fixed Income Note: Target allocations are as of March 1, 2018, subject to change. 10 15 Years after Retirement 20 3

Objective of the 1290 Retirement Funds The funds seek the highest total return over time consistent with the current asset mix while managing portfolio volatility. Total return includes capital growth and income. 5
Here s how a 1290 Retirement Fund can simplify your retirement planning: Choosing a fund is easy. Funds include a target retirement date, from 2020 to 2060, in fiveyear intervals. Just choose the one closest to the date you expect to start retirement. Instant diversification. To keep your holdings well diversified, each fund includes a mix of asset classes and securities. While diversification doesn t assure a profit or protect against loss, it can help to smooth ups and downs in portfolio performance. Automatic rebalancing. At any given time, a fund will have a specific model asset allocation (ex: 40% stocks, 60% bonds). Changes in the market can cause these allocations and specific holdings to become overweighted or underweighted (stocks may go from 40% to 45%, bonds may go from 60% to 55%). The portfolio manager aims to keep each funds holdings aligned with the model allocations, so if shifts occur, the manager will bring the allocation back into alignment. This helps keep your strategy on track through changing markets. You re investing in ETFs. The 1290 Retirement Funds invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ETFs are baskets of securities that trade like stocks and track market indices. Many investors like ETFs because they are transparent, so you can see the underlying investments and prices, and they are easily traded, with attractive pricing compared to actively managed stock portfolios. Some of the ETFs are designed to help manage volatility. The 1290 Retirement Funds may invest in low volatility ETFs. These ETFs include equity securities whose prices tend to be more consistent, with fewer swings up and down than you might see in the broad market. This lets you capture a portion of the return in both rising and falling stock markets, and can give you the potential for growth, with lower volatility, so you can feel confident staying invested. 2

Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. 1 Funds inception date of February 27, 2017. 2 The S&P Target Date Index Series comprises eleven multi asset class indices, each corresponding to a particular target retirement date. The asset allocation for each index in the series is determined once a year through survey of large fund management companies that offer target date products. Each index is fully investable, with varying levels of exposure to equities, fixed income and commodities. 3 Pursuant to a contract, 1290 Asset Managers has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative and other fees to limit the expenses of the Fund through April 30, 2019 (unless the Board of Trustees consents to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) ( Expense Limitation Arrangement ) so that the annual operating expenses (including Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses) of the Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses (other than offering costs), 12b 1 fees, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed an annual rate of average daily net assets of 0.65% for Class I shares of the Fund. The Expense Limitation Arrangement may be terminated by 1290 Asset Managers at any time after April 30, 2019. An investment in the Funds will not ensure that an investor will have assets sufficient to cover retirement expenses or that an investor will have enough saved to be able to retire in, or within a few years of, the target year identified in the Funds' names. Investments in foreign securities, including depositary receipts, involve risks not associated with investing in U.S. securities. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, may be less liquid, more volatile and subject to less government supervision than domestic markets. Security values also may be negatively affected by changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. Differences between U.S. and foreign legal, political and economic systems, regulatory regimes and market practices also may impact security value and it may take more time to clear and settle trades. securities involve the risk that the value of the securities may fluctuate, sometimes widely fluctuate, in response to changes in a company's financial condition as well as general market, economic and political conditions and other factors. Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk so that when interest rates rise, the prices of fixed income securities can decrease and the investor can lose principal value. To the extent the Funds invest in Underlying ETFs, the Funds will be subject to the risks associated with the securities and other investments in which the Underlying ETF invests and the ability of a Fund to meet its investment objective will directly depend on the ability of the Underlying ETFs to meet their investment objectives. In addition, the use of volatility management techniques by the Underlying ETF may limit a Fund's participation in market gains, particularly during periods when market values are increasing, but market volatility is high. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of a Fund carefully before investing.
