What this option is

90% of your money is in growth assets.

The remaining 10% is in defensive assets such as bonds and cash. That puts this option in the High Growth band, typically used for 10+ years or longer.

Caveat: Higher growth means more potential upside over the long run, but also more volatility year to year. This option's risk label expects a negative annual return about 1 in 4 years.
