SEBI Introduces Life Cycle Funds to Automatically Adjust Asset Allocation by Target Date
Life Cycle Funds are mutual fund schemes that automatically adjust asset allocation from equity to debt as the target date approaches, helping investors transition from growth to capital preservation. Introduced by SEBI in India in 2026, these funds follow a predefined glide path aligned with investors' financial goals, such as retirement or education. They offer a multi-asset mix including equity, debt, gold ETFs, and infrastructure trusts, with fund managers handling rebalancing to reduce investor risk over time.
