Target Date Perspectives

RPAG

Investment Analyst, Ellie Armstrong, leads an information packed panel with Mark Ferraro (Capital Group/American Funds), Andrew Kuhn (T. Rowe Price), and Kyle Schmit (BlackRock). The panelists covered a wide range of important topics related to Target Date Funds, such as glide pathways, asset allocation, fixed income, co-manufactured and custom solutions, inflation hedging, and anticipated developments in the industry, including retirement income.

The panelists talked about what their company's glide routes were trying to achieve. For instance, Mark from Capital Group described how their glide paths shift from growth to dividend-paying strategies as participants approach retirement, while Kyle discussed BlackRock's GPS (Growth, Protect, Spend) strategy and the importance of maximizing growth assets early in the glide path. T. Rowe Price's Andrew said that they offer multiple glide paths that are tailored to different plan populations.
