The ANZ KiwiSaver Scheme's Lifetimes Option helps take the guesswork out of choosing the right investment fund.
It’s based on the level of risk investors are comfortable with at various stages of their lives. Generally speaking, the younger you are, the more investment risk you can afford to take. As you get closer to retirement, however, it pays to take a more conservative approach.
In the Lifetimes Option, your contributions will be invested into the fund that matches your current age. Then, as you get older, you’ll be automatically moved to lower-risk funds. For example, when you turn 46, your investment will be switched from the Balanced Growth Fund to the Balanced Fund.
