2Please note that the equity component of the Synchrony LPP 80 fund can reach or even exceed 80%, which is a higher proportion than that of traditional pension funds. The fund may be subject to significant fluctuations in value due to its exposure to equities. The fund is therefore suitable for investors with a long-term investment horizon and a high risk tolerance
