The target-date funds begin by focusing on asset growth through a higher weighting to stocks and shift to capital preservation over time through historically less-risky allocations. A press announcement said the funds seek to replicate certain lifecycle indexes created by Zacks Investment Research (See Zacks Launches Securities-Based Lifecycle Indexes).

There are five TDAX Independence ETFs available, each with strategies defined by an investment horizon and target date.
