In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about the importance of investment policy statements (IPS) for target date funds (TDFs). He emphasizes the need for well-crafted IPS sections specifically for TDFs, cautioning against over-reliance on custom benchmarks that often fail to provide meaningful comparisons. Eric likens TDF evaluation to a fruit salad, underscoring the complexity of assessing multiple funds with varying glide paths and strategies. He advocates for conducting a glide path determination to align the TDF's risk level with plan demographics and participant needs, whether conservative or aggressive.
