SETTING A NEW STANDARD
LifeSmart vs Traditional Target Date Fund
Most target date funds provide members with a single glide path choice, regardless of their financial situation
and risk tolerance. Franklin Templeton LifeSmart Portfolios (“LifeSmart”), on the other hand, provide three
distinct risk tolerance choices based on each member’s desired retirement date range. In addition to this
differentiated risk overlay, LifeSmart employs active management along each glide path so market developments
can be appropriately factored in and acted upon. The portfolio management team can employ a tactical over
or underweighting whereby the target equity or income allocation of the Portfolio can be adjusted up to 5%.

allocation. This means that in times when the market favours fixed income,
the LifeSmart portfolio manager can overweight fixed income and
underweight equities. Likewise, in times when the market favours equities,
