Life cycle funds from Fidelity and Vanguard have been added to the list of UWRP fund choices. This follows a review and recommendation to the Executive Vice President made by the UWRP/VIP Fund Review Committee on January 7, 2005.
Life cycle funds (also called "age-based funds") are an all-in-one portfolio that automatically invests funds according a specific retirement date or age. This type of investment provides a mix of more aggressive funds at a younger age that gradually become more conservative (through automatic rebalancing) up to retirement age. Designed for people who don't have the time, interest or ability to manage their own retirement portfolio, life cycle funds are just one of the many choices available to UWRP participants.
