Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming industries, altering how people work - and earn their paychecks. To evaluate these changes, we modeled how AI-driven shifts in wages and life expectancy could influence saving behaviors, investment decisions, and long-term retirement spending ability.
Life doesn’t slow down at retirement. After 30 years, neither will we. In the 30 years since we pioneered target date funds, we’ve continually evolved our LifePath solutions to help deliver the retirement outcomes participants need. So when they do retire, they can do so on their own terms. LifePath has always been built around participant needs. And we continue to innovate to help stay ahead of them – which means we aren’t slowing down any time soon.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Funds' prospectuses or, if available, the summary prospectuses which may be obtained by visiting www.blackrock.com or www.iShares.com.

Only an investor and their financial professional know enough about their circumstances to make an investment decision.
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. Non-investment-grade debt securities (high-yield/junk bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations, risk of default or loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. There may be less information on the financial condition of municipal issuers than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. Some investors may be subject to federal or state income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable.
An investment in the Funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency and its return and yield will fluctuate with market conditions.
