TDF TANGLE

Employees fail to fully grasp the details of target-date funds (TDFs) in their retirement accounts, according to a recent report by the Securities and Exchange Commission. More than half (54 percent) of polled investors don’t understand that different funds with the same target date may hold vastly different investments, the study found. Also, only 36 percent realized that TDFs do not provide guaranteed income in retirement.
