Target Date Retirement Funds: The New Defined Contribution Battleground (PDF)
Casey, Quirk & Associates 
Nov. 23, 2009
24 pages. Excerpt: Both Congress and clients have begun to scrutinize the construction and value proposition of target-date products, particularly because the average target-date fund lost 32% of its value during 2008. Nearly 90% of respondents to our survey of plan sponsors ..., however, were satisfied with their target-date options to some degree. Such support reflects neither apathy nor blind approval: nearly two-thirds of the sponsors we surveyed said they would consider changes to their target-date vehicles. The results imply that plan sponsors regard their target-date funds as first-generation prototypes: they believe in the idea, but now seek to improve its execution.
