In this episode, Eric, Matthew, and Bentley discuss:
- The use of third-party tools to analyze Target Date Funds
- Considering the client’s needs
- What committee members want
- Understanding the needs of participants
Key Takeaways:
- Advisors should consider clients' needs, blending DOL tips and comparative data to create a checklist for target date fund options.
- Committee members want to prioritize primary goals when selecting target date funds, such as protecting older participants from market downturns or avoiding risk and litigation. They are looking for a targeted fund that aligns with their specific goals, and the advisor can help narrow down the universe based on those goals.
- Committee members often struggle to understand the needs of their participants, leading to a disconnect between investment decisions and the needs of the people they serve. A consultative approach can help bridge this gap by engaging committee members in conversations about the needs of their participants and how to best serve them.
“Instead of saying, hey, I want to look at a bunch of numbers with you. Let's instead talk about what our primary goals or purposes are, with any suite of target date funds we have.” - Matthew Eickman
