摘要

生命周期基金，也被称为目标日期基金，旨在遵循下滑路径，随着投资者接近退休，逐渐减少对风险资产的投资。然而，我们记录了澳大利亚生命周期基金在过去十年中平均增加了增长型资产配置，改变了下滑路径。这种趋势偏离了生命周期基金预期的降低风险策略，在初始风险敞口较低的零售基金中尤为明显。这种转变可以归因于生命周期基金迎合了投资者追逐回报的需求，以及市场认为一些生命周期基金过于保守。

Increased risk-taking by lifecycle funds

Lifecycle funds, also known as target-date funds, are designed to follow a glide path, gradually reducing investments in risky assets as investors approach retirement. However, we document that Australian lifecycle funds have, on average, increased growth asset allocation over the past decade, shifting the glide path upward. This trend deviates from the expected risk-reduction strategy by lifecycle funds and is particularly pronounced in retail funds with lower initial risk exposure. The shift can be attributed to lifecycle funds catering to investors' return-chasing and the market perception that some lifecycle funds are overly conservative.
