Understanding the Lifecycle Funds:
Lifecycle funds are designed to adjust the investment strategy automatically as you near retirement. The closer you are to your retirement date, the more conservative your investments become. The earlier your expected retirement, the higher the allocation towards equities, which drives potential growth but with increased risk. As you near retirement, the focus shifts towards more stable, fixed-income investments to protect your pension savings from market volatility.
Members are encouraged to periodically review their fund allocations and consider adjusting their investments based on their risk tolerance and retirement goals. For more information, contact our Administrator’s Agent at 345-745-7630 or via email at admin@pensions.ky.
