Target the expected retirement date
Once a retirement year has been identified – the “Target Retirement Date” – select the LifePath portfolio associated with that year to see how it is designed to help invest for retirement.
The target date in the name of the LifePath portfolio designates an approximate year in which an investor plans to start withdrawing money. As the LifePath strategies are available in portfolios spaced 5 years apart, the tool displays the LifePath portfolio that most closely aligns with your anticipated retirement year.
Your LifePath® portfolio breakdown
LifePath® provides a mix of stocks and bonds based on the indicated target retirement date. Here’s what the LifePath portfolio currently looks like.

The investment mix within a LifePath portfolio adjusts over time to seek to reduce risk exposure as it approaches the target date. Move the slider to see how a LifePath portfolio changes over time.
Source: BlackRock, as of October 2024. Not all LifePath strategies invest in commodities. Allocations are subject to change. Asset allocations models and diversifcation do not promise any level of performance or guarantee against loss of principal.
Typically, the strategic asset mix within each LifePath portfolio systematically rebalances at varying intervals and becomes more conserative (less stock exposure) over time as investors move closer to the target date. The principal value of the portfolios is not guaranteed at any time, including at and after the target date.
