Target-Date Fund Design May Be Wrong For Retirees

in The Bullpen
FYI: Prominent retirement researchers are questioning whether target-date funds, the golden goose of the 401(k) industry, are structured appropriately.

TDFs have become the preferred investment for 401(k) savers, now holding about $1.1 trillion in assets. By 2023, roughly 70% of investors will use a TDF as their lone 401(k) investment, compared with 52% today, according to Vanguard Group estimates. But their design may be flawed.
