Evaluation of Target Date Glide Paths Within Defined Contribution Plans
Richard K. Fullmer and James A. Tzitzouris Jr. via SSRN Oct. 11, 2013
"Two employers that each offer a DC plan with similar participant demographics and employee benefits may quite rationally select different glide paths because of different preferences.... [H]igher-equity glide paths offer greater efficacy for lifetime income replacement, while lower-equity glide paths offer greater efficacy for stable account balances with lower risk of large capital losses. Directionally, these conclusions hold over a wide range of plan characteristics and assumptions, although the relative magnitude of the trade-off depends on characteristics unique to each plan."
