Contributing to the CEIRP group savings plan means you’re in the driver’s seat — you decide where your contributions are invested.

The Cadence Target-Date Funds are designed to generate more growth in the early years, progressing to become more conservative in the years nearing your selected retirement year. This simple, hands-off approach will help you save for the future.

If you’re already invested in a Cadence Target-Date Fund, check to make sure that your target retirement year is matched to the correct Cadence Target-Date Fund. If it isn’t, you may not be getting the full advantage of the way the funds are designed.

It’s easy to choose the fund that’s right for you:

Birthdate Fund
 1958 to 1962 Cadence 2025 fund
1963 to 1967 Cadence 2030 fund
1968 to 1972 Cadence 2035 fund
1973 to 1977 Cadence 2040 fund
1978 to 1982 Cadence 2045 fund
1983 to 1987 Cadence 2050 fund
1988 to 1992 Cadence 2055 fund
1993 to 1997 Cadence 2060 fund
1998 to 2002 Cadence 2065 fund

The above list is based on a retirement age of 65. Being realistic about your retirement date means choosing the best fit for you.
