Protecting your Retirement Assets from the Next Black Swan Event

Wednesday, May 27, 2020

1:00pm – 2:00pm EST

Target-date funds (TDFs) now dominate the asset flows in 401(k) and 403(b) plans, bringing in more than 60% of all new contributions. The click-it-and-forget-it mentality has made target-date funds an easy, user-friendly investment vehicle for most retirement clients. But do plan sponsors and, more importantly, plan participants, really understand what they are investing in? All TDFs are not created equally. During the 2008 financial crisis, as well as the current coronavirus dislocation, the difference in returns and volatility among the top TDF offerings was staggering.

Join our industry experts as we discuss the pros and cons of target-date construction, glide path management and eventual retirement income. Our experts will discuss how to know if you have the correct TDFs for your particular employee population. The pros and cons of passive, active or hybrid TDFs. How the next Black Swan event may impact your current TDFs. Understanding how safe your TDFs really are.
