Asset allocation
Investments are managed in a lifecycle product - Members under the age of 46 have the majority of their savings invested in equities, non-investment grade fixed income and alternative investments. When members turn 46 years of age, their savings are gradually switched into more conservative and less volatile holdings, as they approach their retirement age. These holdings are European government and mortgage bonds and investment grade corporate bonds.
