About LIJIX
BlackRock LifePath Index 2035 Fund Institutional Shares is a target-date collective investment trust designed primarily for investors planning to retire around the year 2035. As a target-date fund, its core objective is to offer a diversified investment solution that automatically becomes more conservative as the expected retirement date approaches. The fund achieves its purpose by dynamically allocating assets across major global equity and fixed income markets, including large-cap U.S. equities, international stocks, intermediate and long-term government and credit bonds, securitized assets, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and global infrastructure holdings. Key features include its use of low-cost passive index strategies to mirror the performance of leading benchmarks, and regular adjustments—known as a glide path—to gradually reduce equity exposure and increase bonds and cash equivalents over time. With net assets exceeding $10 billion, the fund serves a significant role in retirement planning, offering scale, liquidity, and a disciplined, rules-based approach to asset allocation. It is widely used in employer-sponsored retirement plans for its simplicity, diversification, and automatic risk adjustment as investors approach retirement.
