Collective Investment Trusts
Retirement Target 2040 CIT
Investment Objective
To provide capital growth and manage risk for investors planning to retire in or around the year indicated in the fund’s name.
Investment Strategy
Currently: The portfolio is currently invested in a growth-oriented mix of investments that seeks to earn a good portion of the long-term growth of the stock market with less volatility. The portfolio is diversified primarily among various stock investments in both domestic and foreign markets. A substantial portion of the portfolio may be invested in long-term, fixed income securities. Stock exposure can range from 55% - 83%.
Over Time: The portfolio’s investment mix will gradually become more conservative as the target date approaches and for several years after the target date. During the target year, the portfolio’s stock exposure can range from 20% - 60%. At five years after the target date and beyond, the focus will be on capital preservation, and stock exposure can range from 13% - 47%.
May be Appropriate for Investors
- Who plan to stop contributions and start periodic withdrawals around the year 2040
- Who have time to pursue growth and can accept significant fluctuations in current account value
- Who prefer to take advantage of professional management through a single, diversified investment portfolio that becomes more conservative over time
About Target Date Funds
A target date fund is a single investment portfolio designed to meet an investor’s changing needs over time. The fund gradually shifts from a more aggressive to a more conservative investment objective over the years to reflect an appropriate risk/return trade-off for the investor’s changing time horizon.

A Word About Risk
Each Manning & Napier Retirement Target CIT Fund is invested in one or two of four proprietary risk-based funds, the Manning & Napier Pro-Mix® CIT Funds, based on the Retirement Target CIT Fund becoming increasingly conservative over time. Because the underlying funds invest in both stocks and bonds, the value of your investment will fluctuate in response to stock market movements and changes in interest rates. Investing in target date funds will also involve a number of other risks, including issuer-specific risk, foreign investment risk, and small-cap/mid-cap risk, as the underlying investments change over time. Investments in options and futures, like all derivatives, can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying instrument on which the derivative is based, such as counterparty, correlation and liquidity risk. Also, the use of leverage increases exposure to the market and may magnify potential losses. Principal value is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date (the approximate year when an investor plans to stop contributions and start periodic withdrawals).
