Nearly 1/3 of 401(K) assets are held in target date funds, and with recent statistics showing the composition of these funds becoming riskier, some are questioning how this might impact investors in the long term. Donna and Nathan discuss why target date funds are becoming more aggressive, and how to use them appropriately in your portfolio. Also on MoneyTalk, when DIY investors should consider professional advice, and Stock Trivia: Battle of the Sowas. Investments in target-date funds are subject to the risks of their underlying holdings. 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 investments based on its respective target date. The performance of an investment in a target-date fund is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date Hosts: Donna Sowa Allard, CFP®, AIF® & Nathan Beauvais, CFP®, CIMA®; Air Date: 5/1/2025.
