What the provider says about this fund

The Automatic Fund is a life cycle investment option. Each month, between the ages of 20 and 80, the Automatic Fund will automatically and smoothly change a member’s target investments to a more conservative mix. Its objective is to achieve an improved long term outcome by accepting a higher investment risk and return volatility in the early stages of a member’s working life as a trade-off for potentially higher returns.
