Lifestyle and Target-Date Funds
Lifestyle Funds are investment vehicles designed to adapt to changing risk preferences as you approach retirement. These funds aim to provide a balanced investment strategy by automatically adjusting the asset allocation mix based on your target retirement date.
Target-Date Funds operate on a similar principle to Lifestyle Funds but are not limited to retirement planning. These funds are designed to align with a specific target date, such as saving for a child’s education or a major life event. The asset allocation gradually adjusts over time, becoming more conservative as the target date approaches.
What are the key features of Lifestyle and Target-Date Funds
Diversification
Lifestyle Funds allocate your investments across various asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and cash, to reduce the impact of market fluctuations.
Asset Allocation
The fund’s asset allocation is based on a predetermined glide path, which gradually shifts the investment mix from higher-risk assets to more conservative ones as retirement approaches.
Risk Management
Lifestyle Funds help manage risk by automatically adjusting your portfolio to reduce exposure to volatile assets and potentially increase exposure to more stable investments.
