Excerpt: "Recognizing the depth of need and the breadth of resources called for in this 'new' environment, the first-ever PLANSPONSOR 403(b) Buyer's Guide asked providers of any type of service to respond.

Excerpt: "At the end of 2008, credit spreads were at historical highs, weighing heavily on pension discount rates. One year later, as those credit spreads have returned to more precedented levels and the yield curve is again upward-sloping, we look at discount rates again vis-a-vis the J.P. Morgan Aa Yield Curve."

Excerpt: "If individuals and their employers really care about retirement readiness, they should be focusing on a whole host of factors that typically carry more weight than fees, says Kmak. These factors include your expected retirement age; the age at which you start saving; your rates of return before and after retirement; whether you cash out or roll over your 401(k) when you switch jobs; and how much you and your employer contribute on an ongoing basis."

Recovery in Target Date Funds? (PDF)
4 pages. Excerpt: "The evidence clearly supports our contention that target date fund managers should stick to their core mandate, prudently managing participant assets during the accumulation phase, and give up the unsupportable claim that they must manage to participant death. That claim is becoming increasingly transparent as a thinly disguised justification for trying to hold on to participant assets."
