Price developments may affect the composition of a particular portfolio, as a result of which it may temporarily deviate from the Life Cycle and Free Investment. This is checked once a year and adjusted if necessary. This annual check was performed in July for the Vanguard funds in the Life Cycle and Freely Invested.

The impact of the shifts will be visible on the upcoming investment statement on the website, through a simultaneous purchase and sale of the investment funds involved.
