Overview:

Many investors, including both individuals and large institutions, diversify their assets among a variety of investments including stocks, bonds and cash. When determining how much to invest in each asset class, investors generally seek to maximize their returns at tolerable risk levels.

Dow Jones Portfolio Indexes were created with this objective in mind. The series includes two families: Dow Jones Relative Risk Indexes and Dow Jones Target Date Indexes. Each Relative Risk Index and Target Date Index represents a total portfolio through stock, bond and cash subindexes. The families differ in that Relative Risk Indexes reflect fixed levels of potential risk, whereas Target Date Indexes reflect potential risk levels that decline as targeted maturity dates approach.
