Talk:Balanced fund

I'm having trouble locating where the explanatory note from the Google Docs source file was inserted. This information is helpful:

Target date funds are extremely prevalent in 529 plans. Investors usually have three basic options in almost every state 529 savings plans:
 * 1) Age based plans: These are balanced target date funds that automatically grow from higher stock allocations to fixed income allocations at the age of matriculation.
 * 2) Static portfolios: These are balanced target risk funds that maintain the same allocation over time.
 * 3) Single funds: These are individual asset class funds.

 * The reference is placed at the first mention of 529 plans:

''Life cycle funds are a group of funds holding varying ranges of fixed stock/bond allocations reflecting various risk levels. These are usually labeled as conservative, moderate, or aggressive portfolios. These funds are primarily designed for retirement and 529 college savings plans.''
