Investing in your DC Plan: Target Date Funds - Do They Work?


Please join us on Thursday March 16th, 2017 at the Fairmont Palliser Hotel, 133 – 9 Ave. SW Calgary.

With the dominance of Target Date Funds (TDF), being used as default choices in employer sponsored retirement plans, it can be challenging to understand the differences between various offerings.

 

In this session our presenters will take a closer look at:

  • The changing landscape of this product class over the past 15 years
  • Addressing where TDFs originated, including why certain enhancements have been adopted into design
  • Helping you to position the most suitable offering for your to plan members
