Using Participant Data to Improve Target Date Fund Allocations (PDF)
Center for Retirement Research at Boston College Sept. 18, 2012 "Economic theory says that participants in 401(k) plans should gradually rebalance their portfolios away from stocks and toward less risky bonds as they approach retirement.
