ABOUT US
Building a better retirement for all
BlackRock’s purpose is to help more and more people experience financial well-being. This starts with making it easier and more affordable for people to invest in resilient retirement plans.
Who we are
We are driven by a vision of a better retirement. We believe that people deserve financial security across their lifetime, and that retirement should be within reach for everyone. To make this a reality, we are building better solutions, and making them more accessible.
Invest in a better retirement
Retirement is more complex than ever before. That’s why many of the world’s largest defined contribution (DC) plans trust BlackRock with their participants’ retirement futures.
Improving financial security
At our recent Savings Summit, we brought together some of the world’s leading thinkers and decision makers on financial health, tech, and policy to discuss how we can build a more inclusive and secure savings system.

LifePath seeks to provide a diversified asset allocation solution that adjusts overtime to appropriately balance growing investments when young and a more conservative risk allocation when approaching retirement. LifePath does so by following a glidepath, which establishes how much risk individuals should take at each point over the course of an individual’s lifetime. Through this process, LifePath seeks to help individuals prepare for retirement through their accumulation and decumulation phases.
The fund is actively managed and its characteristics will vary.
Fund of funds are subject to the risks associated with the underlying BlackRock funds in which it invests.
Stock and bond values fluctuate in price so the value of your investment can go down depending on market conditions.
International investing involves special risks including, but not limited to currency fluctuations, illiquidity and volatility. These risks may be heightened for investments in emerging markets.
Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments.

The fund may use derivatives to hedge its investments or to seek to enhance returns. Derivatives entail risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and increase volatility.
Asset allocation and diversification may not protect against market risk, loss of principal or volatility of returns.
