” This innovative, instant-diversification retirement product is designed to meet rising institutional demand for a flexible, market-sensitive approach in this category, “ said Jam Zovein, Managing Director, Nuveen Investments, in the press release. “ Historically, many target date funds fail to give adequate consideration to liabilities and do not deal sufficiently with market risk, longevity risk and inflation risk.”
