American Century Target-Date Blueprint

Choosing the right TDF for each plan has never been more important.

  • Increasing fiduciary requirements have created mounting challenges for plan sponsors.
  • Differences among Target‐Date Funds (TDFs)—in asset mixes, glide paths, and investment fees—can mean significant variations in performance.
  • Participant populations often vary from industry to industry and firm to firm—In demographics, savings levels and risk tolerance.

Against this backdrop, plan sponsors need knowledge and tools to help them make prudent TDF selection decisions.

To help plan sponsors navigate the complexities of TDF strategy evaluation and monitoring, the Department of Labor (DOL) has issued Tips for ERISA Plan Fiduciaries

Target‐Date Blueprint provides a framework for aligning TDF selection with the DOL’s Tips for Plan Fiduciaries.
