About This Scheme
Investment Objective
The primary objective of the Zerodha Life Cycle Fund 2036 is to provide a goal-based investment solution that seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation by investing across various asset classes i.e., Equity, Debt, InvITs, ETCDs, Gold and Silver ETFs. The fund follows a pre-determined maturity and a dynamic glide path strategy across the product lifespan initially maintaining an aggressive stance and automatically transitioning toward a conservative, debt-heavy allocation to protect capital as the target date approaches. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved.
Stated Asset Allocation
The asset allocation will be as follows: Equity and Equity Related : (Maturity Years) 5-10 Yr - 50% to 65%, 3-5 Yr - 35% to 50 %, 1-3 Yr - 20% to 35%, <1 Yr 5% to 20% Debt and Debt Related : (Maturity Years) 5-10 Yr - 5% to 25%, 3-5 Yr - 25% to 50 %, 1-3 Yr - 25% to 65%, <1 Yr 25% to 65% Gold ETFs*/Silver ETFs/ETCDs/InvITs : (Maturity Years) 5-10 Yr - 0% to 10%, 3-5 Yr - 0% to 10 %, 1-3 Yr - 0% to 10%, <1 Yr 0% to 10%
