Lifecycle funds are essentially one decision balanced investment portfolios that begin with a strong growth bias, and become more conservative as they approach their maturity date, which is usually selected to match your retirement date.
Fidelity is the market share leaders, with solid performance. The Spiess McGlade Team is pleased to have recommended those Clearpath funds 10 years ago and they have performed well for our clients. Fidelity recently updated their brochure and have a detailed white paper on how the funds are built and rebalanced based on their proprietary "glide path".
Lifecycle funds are offered by several other companies, as well. Below is a listing of performance data, followed by links to more information on lifecycle funds. Any of the funds listed can be held in your ScotiaMcLeod account, and many are available for Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) plans and/or with no loads. Please contact us for details and recommendations for your situation.
