Season 4 Episode 2 “Glidepaths and ‘Guide’ Paths”
Another of the BlackRock TDF suits comes to a conclusion, the WSJ takes a peek at managed accounts—and Nevin and Fred ponder the implications for glidepaths.
To date only one of the dozen or so suits filed against plans that had BlackRock’s LifePath TDFS have gotten past the motion to dismiss—suits that charged plan fiduciaries with “chasing low fees” and being inattentive to poor performance.
In this episode, Nevin & Fred discuss those outcomes, the issue of TDF glidepaths generally, and the possibilities—and complexities—with a managed account solution and what they should include to be more than “just an expensive target-date fund.”
