Retirement Investment Strategies (RIS)
As people move closer to retirement, it is likely their tolerance to risk will reduce. This is why it is unlikely that remaining in one fund would be appropriate to most investors.
Lifestyling recognises this issue and was created to provide an automatic switching facility from funds with higher volatility over the longer period to ones with less volatility as retirement approaches.
Traditional lifestyle arrangements moved investors through asset classes with different perceived exposures to risk. For example, within a typical strategy the investor starts in a Equity fund, moving gradually to a Managed fund, then as retirement approaches, drip feeding into a bond fund and then finally into cash or deposit.
These strategies enable investors to benefit from potentially higher returns during the earlier years of their plan while reducing the risk of investments when it matters most in the years immediately prior to retirement.
We offer a range of Retirement Investment Strategies, further details of the most popular strategies can be found using links below:
