Introducing Lifetime Invest

Written by HealthCarePlus | 20 November 2024

You may have heard about Lifetime Retirement Income (Lifetime), they have been a partner of HealthCarePlus for over 6 months now.  They are such a good option for our Senior Members as they have developed a series of solutions that help retirees secure regular retirement income in addition to their NZ Super that will last for the rest of their life.  If you haven't heard about them we suggest you take a look.

One of the things we like about Lifetime is they recognise that your financial needs in retirement are as unique as your journey to get there.  And in addition to the growing positive feedback they are receiving from their customers, they have also been listening to what their customers who want more than just a steady income—they seek a dynamic, adaptable retirement plan that grows with them.

And so they have just launched their new solution Lifetime Invest.   

So today, we take a quick summary of Lifetime Invest and how it fits alongside the other solutions they offer retirees.  Please have a read and tell us what you think in the comments section.

Support for your long term retirement journey

So how does it fit with the other solutions?  Well it complements the existing two "income solutions" that they have which focus on helping you secure an income for the rest of your life.  These new funds allow you to be more flexible about where your money sits especially if you are planning for a twenty to thirty-year retirement. Dividing your retirement savings into "buckets" or "time blocks" helps create a roadmap, guiding you through each stage with clarity and flexibility to adapt as life changes.

So these new plans provide an option to start building your customised "Buckets of Money" approach.
