How many Doritos are in a serving? For most of us, it’s whatever amount is left in the bag. Unless you’re raiding your kid’s lunchbox snack size stash. Then it might be two bags. While concerns about the amount of nutrition or serving size in that particular snack may be taking it to the extreme, the fact is that government mandated nutrition labels on our food have made more information clearly available about what we are eating than ever before.
That has me wondering. Target Date Funds, an investment concept that started with relative simplicity, have become very confusing. With 75+ mutual fund families trying to figure out how to differentiate themselves from the big three market share leaders, what are retirement plan participants left with to decipher? We have target through TDFs, target to TDFs and risk based TDFs with new variations no doubt on the drawing board.
