A default fund is a required element for every retirement plan. If you do not make an investment election, contributions allocated to your account will be directed to the applicable Vanguard Target Retirement Trust II. Contact John Hancock for more information on the Vanguard Target Retirement Trust II accounts.
Otherwise, you may choose to invest in any of the core funds, or many publicly traded investment options available through the
TD Ameritrade self-directed brokerage account.
