Excerpt: As part of an occasional series providing mutual-fund investing ideas for different periods of life, MarketWatch asked investment advisers how they'd help people work toward the time when they won't work. From their suggestions, we chose five no-load stock funds with proven records and low costs that you'd likely find in a 401(k)[.]

"The deal, set to close Oct. 21, will cover about 27,000 participants in Eastman Kodak's terminated retirement plan.... About 3,600 employees elected to receive a lump-sum distribution of their retirement benefits in lieu of an annuity when Eastman Kodak terminated the pension program. The company settled $76 million of pension obligations through lump-sum payments on Oct. 1, and expects to settle $157 million more in lump-sum payments on Nov. 1."

"One can make a strong case for getting rid of the Roth version of both 401(k)s and IRAs. While having two forms of retirement saving is lovely for young professionals who know their tax rates will be higher in the future than today, this opportunity is swamped by the mischief they create.... [1] Federal budget gimmick.... [2] Tax dodge for high rollers.... [3] Obstacle to fairer tax incentives."

"While private equity -- unlike Bitcoin -- passes the threshold test under ERISA of being a generally acceptable asset class to a broad group of investors, ... it is too opaque for most 401(k) fiduciaries to perform appropriate due diligence.... Moreover, it takes years for returns to be realized, and participants who leave early will have paid higher fees for nothing. Private equity simply adds unnecessary risk to retirement saving."

"[The] combination of portfolio withdrawals with market corrections can shorten a portfolio's life by seven years or more.... [B]uffered or defined-outcome ETFs, a strategy that historically was only available through insurers and investment banks, can be used to manage and mitigate what's called sequence-of-returns risk, as well as some other pesky retirement risks (inflation, longevity and volatility)."

"For most individual investors, a solid diversification strategy means holding different types of stock funds, bond funds and cash ... [Y]ou'll likely need a lot more stocks than you think for proper diversification; however, many workplace retirement plans offer limited options. Here's what you need to know to create a solid diversification strategy."

"Fraud concerns have prompted [PBGC] to take down a public database that previously helped retirement-plan participants track down their benefits ... Many people ... have also lately had trouble obtaining key information that the Social Security Administration typically provides about private retirement benefits ... The new challenges come at a time when the pandemic is expected to exacerbate the longstanding problem of retirement plan sponsors losing track of their participants."

"A record 1.4 million investors in this age group opened up accounts at Fidelity Investments, according to third quarter data from the firm -- almost double the number of investors in this generation from the year before. Meanwhile, other retirement savers stayed the course, even when the market fluctuated ... IRA balances ticked slightly upward while the average account balance for 401(k) and 403(b) plans declined moderately from the quarter before."

"[ARPA offered] taxpayer-funded financial assistance to certain troubled [multiemployer] pension plans ... allowing them to restore benefits to retirees who suffered cuts. But the implementation of the rescue plan has been met with a barrage of criticism from plan trustees, participants and members of Congress who say it's too tight-fisted with the financial assistance and could leave some plans in a worse financial position than they are in now."
