Key benefits of Transamerica Personalized Portfolios

It builds and manages your portfolio

Transamerica Personalized Portfolios uses NextCapital's advanced algorithm and digital investment advice platform to create and manage your IRA.

The portfolios are created by tapping into U.S. retirement funds that meet strict qualifying criteria. Your portfolio is further personalized with additional information about you, your present financial situation, and what you want in your future.

It makes investing easy

We take into consideration your retirement across all accounts, your current income, and when you plan to retire. We make it easy to see where you are, and determine the steps needed to get or stay on course. Our financial advisors help you put your plan in motion.

After that, we’ll proactively reach out and provide an annual statement to ensure your progress is still on course with your goals. We'll encourage you to schedule an account review if there have been any significant life changes that may require adjustments to your retirement strategy.

Brings your accounts together in one place

You can sync other, investment accounts you have with the Transamerica Personalized Portfolios tool. These synced accounts will be recognized as inputs that factor into managed advice provided through Transamerica Personalized Portfolios.

Transamerica Personalized Portfolios will not manage any synced accounts. It is your responsibility to inform us of any outside accounts that should be considered. While Transamerica Personalized Portfolios’ advice can consider outside accounts, this consideration will only be as accurate as the information we receive. We do not verify the content, completeness, or accuracy of information received from outside accounts. Please note that any third-party linked accounts are not maintained by, related to, sponsored by or affiliated with Transamerica or NextCapital and are provided solely as a service and convenience to you.

Incorporates your Social Security estimates

We will integrate your Social Security benefit estimates into the tool, so we can forecast your estimated retirement income needs.

Diversified options to help pursue your investment objectives

We’ll help you choose an approach with one of two types of globally diversified portfolios:

Goal-based portfolio: Our portfolios include up to 18 asset classes of low-cost ETFs across equities (e.g., stocks), fixed income (e.g., bonds), real estate, and commodities, as well as FDIC-insured cash equivalents. Certain portfolios may also include low-cost mutual funds and other securities. This mix is intended to help ensure your investments are truly diversified and in line with your goals. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against market loss.

Risk-based portfolio: There are 12 different risk-based model portfolios comprised of highly liquid ETFs, holding a diversified mix of bonds and stocks as well as short-term securities. Generally, investors put their money in higher-risk portfolios earlier in their career and shift to lower-risk portfolios as they near retirement.

Monitors performance

Once your account is created, your portfolio is monitored and automatically rebalanced to help maintain an optimal allocation.

As noted above, the Transamerica Personalized Portfolios utilize “Models”, which are defined to include algorithms and/or calculations developed by NextCapital that have inherent risks. Results derived from this tool may vary with each use and over time. Models may incorrectly forecast future behavior or produce unexpected outcomes resulting in losses. The success of using Models depends on numerous factors, including the validity, accuracy and completeness of the Model’s development, implementation and maintenance, the Model’s assumptions, factors, algorithms and methodologies, and the accuracy and reliability of the supplied historical or other data. If incorrect data is entered into even a well-founded Model, the resulting information will be incorrect. Investments selected with the use of Models may perform differently than expected as a result of the design of the Model, inputs into the Model, or other factors. The principal value of the portfolio is never guaranteed. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions, and you may lose money.
