What is SmartSeries?

SmartSeries is a lineup of 9 target-date segregated funds offered by Assumption Life. It is also available with Registered Investment Account (RIA) plans.
Based on the target date closest to the year your clients expect to achieve their goal, SmartSeries follows a glide path that adjusts the underlying mix of investments and volatility, becoming more conservative over time to minimize risks as you get closer to your goal.

They are ideal for clients who want an investment strategy that grows their assets over a specified period of time and for a specific goal, and which provides the comfort of knowing that all the important aspects of efficient investing are automatically managed according to their goal’s target date.
