About Russell LifePoints®


“An investment portfolio that evolves automatically with me as I get closer to retirement?”
 - I like the sound of that.

KiwiSaver made simple
Your Kiwisaver superannuation decision doesn’t have to be difficult. 

Many people avoid making superannuation decisions because they feel overwhelmed by information, investment options and fear of making the wrong choice.  Russell LifePoints changes all that.

With Russell LifePoints it is easy to choose an investment strategy that is right for you.

Choose from one of two options

  1. Russell LifePoints® Target Date Portfolios

A Set and Forget retirement option.  Simply decide when you expect to retire, select the Target Date Portfolio that most closely matches that date, invest and let Russell do the rest.

  1. Russell LifePoints® Diversified Portfolios

An investment option based on your risk tolerance.  Take the investor risk questionnaire, Select the Diversified Portfolio which matches your risk profile and invest.  As your risk profile changes you can move to another Diversified Portfolio.

By selecting Russell LifePoints your retirement savings are instantly diversified across asset classes, investment styles and among some of the best money managers Russell has researched, selected and continuously monitors.

Russell LifePoints® Target Date Portfolios
An investment decision based on when you retire.

Russell LifePoints Target Date Portfolios is a set and forget solution.  Each Target Date Portfolio contains a mix of growth and income investments.  The mix of these investments is adjusted on a yearly basis to become more conservative as you near your retirement.  There are four Target Date Portfolios to choose from - 2015, 2025, 2035 and 2045.  Simply choose the Target Date Portfolio with the date that most closely matches your retirement date, invest and let the Russell team of investment professionals do the rest. 

If your personal circumstances change, LifePoints offers you the flexibility to modify your investment choice at any time.

Russell LifePoints® Diversified Portfolios
An investment decision based on your risk tolerance

Russell LifePoints Diversified Portfolios offer four different investment options based on the amount of investment risk you are prepared to take:  Conservative, Moderate, Balanced and Growth.  Each Diversified Portfolio contains a mix of growth and income investments giving you the power of a custom portfolio with the ease of making a simple decision. 

You can take the investment style quiz to help you decide which Diversified Portfolio most closely matches your portfolio.

Russell LifePoints Diversified Portfolios also keep your investment on track by automatically rebalancing your investment allocation to keep it consistent year in year out.  When your life situation changes, you can choose to switch to a different Diversified Portfolio that matches your new goals and risk tolerance.

Russell LifePoints Diversified Portfolio Type of investor
Russell LifePoints Conservative Conservative – For investors who generally try to avoid risk, as much as possible, to avoid losses.
Russell LifePoints Moderate Moderate – For investors who are generally willing to accept some risk to boost long-term returns, but are also very focused on reducing the chance of any short-term losses that may occur.
Russell LifePoints Balanced Balanced – For investors who are generally looking to balance the amount of risk they’re prepared to take with their goal of achieving higher returns over the longer-term.
Russell LifePoints Growth Growth – For investors who are prepared to accept a higher level of risk, and are comfortable with returns that can fluctuate from year to year to potentially achieve a high return over the longer-term.
