Target date funds were introduced in the mid-1990s as a way to simplify retirement investing. These funds are essentially mutual funds that invest in a mix of other mutual funds, tailored to fit a specific time horizon. While these funds are convenient and offer a “set it and forget it” approach, are they an effective way to get the diversification and growth you need for retirement?
In this episode, Liz breaks down the findings of a recent study titled The Unintended Consequences of Investing for the Long Run: Evidence from Target Date Funds. She’ll guide us through the history of target date funds, explore whether they underperform or outperform, and weigh the pros and cons of using them.
