Exploring the Target Date Landscape with Mercer’s Preet Prashar
About this episode
As part of 401(k) Specialist’s Q2 Deep Dive on target-date funds, Editor-in-Chief Brian Anderson sits down with Mercer Director of Defined Contribution Strategic Research Teams Preet Prashar to discuss the rapidly evolving TDF landscape—from market concentration and glidepath design to passive investing, fiduciary concerns, lifetime income solutions, and private assets.
Drawing from Mercer’s recent white paper, “Target Date Landscape: The Evolution of Target Date Strategies and Future Considerations,” Prashar shares key insights plan sponsors and advisors should consider as target-date funds continue to dominate the defined contribution marketplace.
