FYI: With thousands of mutual funds available to the average investor, choosing the best option can be a difficult task. Target-date funds are a simpler option for the investor who wants an all-in-one diversified investment vehicle. These are now available at almost every major investment company. Besides, these have also seen growing preference inside retirement plans like 401(k)s.
Since target-date funds are constantly rebalancing over time, we’ll highlight throughout this article the importance of knowing a fund’s structure in comparison to its peer group.
