CFS Lifestage is a smart investment option that automatically adapts to suit a member’s life stage. We do the hard work for you by automatically adjusting your investment mix as you get closer to retirement.
Investment choice and flexibility
Not all your employees will want to invest in the default option. More engaged investors may like to choose their investment mix. While for others, their personal circumstances may dictate the need for an investment mix that is different to others in their age group.
We offer these members the option of constructing their own investment portfolios from our comprehensive investment menu including a range of multi-manager and single manager options.
