Americans may need more aggressive target-date funds for longer retirements

Reported · Written up by our desk · Fund Industry

MarketWatch reports that the default retirement investing options, including target-date funds, may not be positioned for the reality that many Americans are living longer.

The outlet notes that if retirement portfolios are not aggressive enough over the full retirement time horizon, savers could fall short of the assets needed to fund decades in retirement, prompting calls for a reassessment of how these funds are designed and managed.
