Abstract
In this paper we try to find an investment strategy which gives a high probability of reaching a given target amount at retirement. This strategy depends on two moments: the first is the appropriate time to stop investing the contributions into equities and the second is the optimal moment to convert the fund of these contributions into bonds (noting that the latter may never occur). We define the strategy and compare it with other investment strategies for Defined Contribution Pension Schemes. Finally we do not only analyse the accumulation phase but also take into consideration what happens during the distribution phase.
