TDF Builder - Build and Maintain Custom Target Date Funds

Why Custom Target Funds ?

Custom Target Date funds allow plan sponsors to consider the needs and characteristics of the covered workforce and allow them to choose multiple managers and replace them as necessary.

Align glide path with participant needs

Fully customized glide paths reflect plan needs, demographics and presence of employee investment benefits

Better Managers

Because the custom TDF is drawn primarily from the existing plan core menu, the plan sponsor is able to select each fund individually, and therefore each is more likely to be, and ultimately to remain, “best in class.”

Better Fees

Plan sponsors gain greater negotiating leverage by placing more assets with fewer managers

Department of Labor Recommendation

As stated in DOL Tips for ERISA Plan Fiduciaries Employer should "Inquire about whether a custom or non-proprietary target date fund would be a better fit for your plan."
