investing your contributions

You can choose how to invest your Savings Plan account balance. The Savings Plan offers a few different investment options:

Option 1: Pre-packaged

These are known as "Target Date Funds." A Target Date Fund is a mutual fund where a professional investment firm manages the fund for you. You select the fund with the year closest to the one in which you plan to retire. 100% of your contributions will be invested in that fund. The fund will automatically adjust your portfolio mix over time, as you get closer to retirement. The Target Date Fund is also the Savings Plan's default investment.

Target Date Funds allow you to do three things:

  1. Have a portfolio that was built by a team of professional money managers.
  2. Help you to diversify your investments.
  3. Help you invest in a way that's appropriate for the amount of time you have until you reach your goal. As you get closer to your goal, the fund becomes more conservative (for example, less exposure to stocks).

Consider if:

  • You are a "hands-off" investor
  • You prefer a "set it and forget it" approach

Option 2: Pick-your-own mix

With the "pick-your-own mix" option, you have the opportunity to choose from many core funds and several Target Date Funds to get to the asset mix that is right for you.

Consider if:

  • You are comfortable choosing your own investments

Option 3: Self-directed

For experienced investors, there is a BrokerageLink® option that allows you to invest in a wider variety of stocks and mutual funds. This is a self-directed brokerage account with no PepsiCo oversight. Additional fees apply.

Consider if:

  • You are an experienced investor
