The TLIC Separate Account invests exclusively in the Vanguard Target Retirement 2005 Fund, which had an inception date of October 27, 2003. The mutual fund is managed by The Vanguard Group and invests in other Vanguard mutual funds according to an asset allocation strategy designed for investors planning to retire in or within a few years of 2005.
INVESTMENT DESCRIPTION

The mutual fund’s asset allocation will become more conservative over time and within 5 to 10 years after 2005, should become similar to that of a retirement income fund. The current asset allocation for the mutual fund is 50% in Bond Market Securities; 35% in Equity Securities and 15% in Inflation-Protected Securities.

The mutual fund’s indirect bond holdings are a diversified mix of short-, intermediate-, and long-term investment-grade, taxable U.S. government, U.S. agency, and corporate bonds; inflation-indexed bonds issued by the U.S. government; and mortgage-backed securities. The indirect stock holding consists substantially of large-capitalization U.S. stocks and, to a lesser extent, of mid- and small-cap U.S. stocks.
RISK/RETURN

Investments of this type are subject to several stock and bond market risks, any of which could cause an investor to lose money. However, because bonds usually are less volatile than stocks, and because at least half of the underlying funds’ assets is in fixed income securities, the overall level of risk should be low to moderate.
