Retirement Plan Academy: Department of Labor Best Practices for Target Date Funds
Thursday, April 28, 2022 at 10:00 am - 11:00 am EDT

Target date funds have grown in popularity over the past two decades and are currently the default investment option for 92% of retirement plans. As a result, The Department of Labor has published guidance for selecting and monitoring target date funds utilized in retirement plans. This critical decision impacts how many participants will invest and their future account growth.
Join us as we discuss:
- The wide range in stock and bond allocations between target date fund families
- Criteria plan sponsors (or their advisors) should consider in selecting and monitoring target date funds
- Insight from BlackRock on how they construct their target date funds to help participants at different life stages
