Age-based Portfolios
The Age-Based Portfolios are based on a beneficiary's college time horizon and seek an appropriate level of investment risk for that time horizon. Organized as a "fund of funds", the Age-Based Portfolios help diversify your investment among a variety of mutual funds within the Waddell & Reed Advisors Funds family. The Age-Based Portfolios consist of: the Growth Portfolio (ages 0 through 8), the Balanced Portfolio (ages 9 through 15) and the Conservative Portfolio (ages 16 and older). Each portfolio is a series of Waddell & Reed InvestEd Portfolios, Inc., a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The Age-Based Portfolios are designed to invest in mutual funds with greater exposure to equity investments when the named beneficiary is between the ages of 0 through 8, a more balanced exposure to equity and fixed income investments when the named beneficiary is between the ages of 9 through 15, and a greater exposure to fixed income securities when the beneficiary reaches the age of 16 and is closer to commencing his or her postsecondary education. The balance in an InvestEd Plan account is automatically exchanged to a different Age-Based Portfolio within approximately thirty (30) days of the beneficiary's 9th and 16th birthdays.
