Have we been wrong all along? Are target date funds the way to go? CFP Judith Ward from T. Rowe Price funds joins us with some surprising data. It seems that T. Rowe Price 401k participants with target date funds were less likely to abandon their strategy during the last market downturn than those who didn’t use target date funds. Judith shares other fascinating statistics about investor behavior as well that YOU can use to tweak your performance the next time volatility erupts.
Plus, in our headlines we cover more exciting news about FinTech products, as well as news that real estate portfolio managers think (shockingly) that you should own more of their stuff. On our Quotacy hotline call Adam asks whether he should own a broad index fund or one that is more narrow. We also talk Canadian real estate, have some magical trivia from Doug, and much more.
