AIM Investments has launched the AIM Independence Funds, a series of six target-date maturity portfolios that are the first in the industry to combine actively managed mutual funds and intelligent, rather than market-cap weighted indexing. Each fund will offer investors broad asset class diversification, innovative portfolio construction, an affiliated multi-manager profile, and strategic institutional allocations. �By combining the power of AMVESCAP PLC�s distinct worldwide investment management capabilities, we can now offer a suite of funds with a unique blend of products and an unmatched level of diversified management to help investors build better portfolios for retirement,� said Philip Taylor, senior managing director and head of AMVESCAP�s North America Retail operations. The funds will use a core-plus-satellite construction using strategically selected PowerShares ETFs and AIM mutual funds, which are managed across eight AMVESCAP investment centers in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Each fund holds 15 to 21 underlying products, more than many other target maturity funds. The largest domestic core equity position in each of the funds has been assigned to the PowerShares FTSETM RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, named the ETF of 2006 by SmartMoney.com. SmartMoney.com considered performance results, expense ratio, and compelling strategy as the primary criteria for selecting the best ETF. The AIM Independence Funds� multi-manager approach allows the funds to achieve total management diversification and helps minimize the exposure and possible risk associated with single management teams. Additionally, the funds were designed using a strategic asset allocation strategy and are periodically rebalanced to maintain the target allocations.
