Target date funds, which are also called lifecycle funds, are designed to offer a convenient way to invest through a portfolio of assets as the target date approaches.

Although Cordros Milestone Funds can serve for retirement purposes, they are not solely Retirement Funds. As the name suggests, the Funds can serve as a target for any milestone project.

The glide path is the asset allocation path that the target date fund follows to become more conservative over time.
