Getting the Target Date Fund Decision Right
The success of DC plans could ultimately depend on the effectiveness of Target Date Funds (TDFs). How are proactive plan sponsors creating a sophisticated retirement plan for participants to adequately save for retirement? In Part two of our three-part DC research series, we reveal how plan sponsors portray the outlook for DC plans and the role TDFs will play.
Key findings:
- Plan sponsors are offering non-recordkeeper TDFs.
62% of those surveyed felt it is a good idea to separate asset management services from recordkeeping, highlighting the trend toward institutional investment products. - Plan sponsors want to improve participation percentages.
58% of all poll respondents offering TDFs said ideally more of their participants would use the TDFs they offer. - Plan sponsors believe they should provide high-quality investment options.
93% of polled sponsors said they have a fiduciary responsibility to make certain every effort is made to provide the participants with the best investment options possible.
