Summary


Target-date funds (TDFs) have been widely adopted – and for good reason. They make it easy for participants to assemble a well-diversified portfolio, a vital part of helping them invest well for their financial futures.

During this webcast, Vanguard's Gus Sauter and Gary Mottola, Ph.D., will discuss how you can unleash the full potential of TDFs using plan-design strategies. They'll address:

  • A case study in portfolio reconstruction: TDFs and reenrollment;

  • Current investment issues surrounding TDFs; and

  • Your questions.

Investments in target-date funds are subject to the risks of their underlying funds. The year in the fund name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor in the fund would retire and leave the workforce. The fund will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative ones based on its target date. An investment in target-date funds is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date.

All investing is subject to risks. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.
