Congratulations! You have taken the first step toward successful long term investing — Selecting a portfolio that fits your investing style. The next step is to learn how to implement your portfolio. Start by getting a list of the mutual funds available through your deferred compensation plan by contacting your employer or by accessing your account through Account Access. With the list of mutual funds in hand, follow the steps in our guide to Choosing Mutual Funds. In the guide we will take you step-by-step through the process of sorting through your choices to find the funds that will work in your portfolio and and then we teach you how to compare mutual funds to find the one with the highest quality.
If you are looking for a simpler solution, explore our Model Portfolio Funds. Each model portfolio fund corresponds to one of the risk levels used in this guide. To invest in a portfolio that corresponds with the risk level you selected, invest your money in the fund that most closely matches your risk tolerance.
