A Superior Collective Investment Trust Onboarding Experience.
Target date funds (TDFs) are designed to change over time, periodically adjusting their investment mix as participants approach and enter retirement. The fixed income allocation within a TDF — and the specific instruments used to fulfill it — is one of many decisions made in glidepath design.
Stable value is one fixed income instrument that plan fiduciaries and advisors may consider when evaluating TDF construction. Within a TDF, stable value and traditional fixed income instruments are generally designed to serve distinct but complementary roles, and understanding how each may function within a glidepath is a meaningful part of the fiduciary evaluation process. This resource focuses on the potential use of stable value funds as a component of a TDF construction and is intended to support informed decision-making by describing stable value’s characteristics, industry context, and data that may be relevant to that broader conversation.
