The Pension Protection Act could make target date or lifecycle funds one of the Qualified Default Investment Alternatives (QDIAs) available to sponsors for safe harbor. While the portfolio strategies behind the different provider funds might be similar, the resulting asset allocation positions can be very different. Many employers are looking at these funds and asking:

  • Is there a true "best practice"?
  • Will use of these funds result in a successful retirement plan for participants?
  • Can generic products produce the best possible outcomes or might a more customized approach be needed in some circumstances?

On July 10, Watson Wyatt hosted a Web conference, “Target Maturity Funds: The New DC Mainstream Investment,” to discuss how target date funds can work for your plan.
