Target date retirement funds are a simple solution to save for retirement. But what about once you retire? Are there single-fund solutions you can use for all of your investments once you retire?
This video will look at several options for one-fund investments in retirement. Keep in mind that these funds are best suited for tax-advantaged accounts like traditional and Roth IRAs.

More people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire without any investment. Retirement becomes truly fulfilling when you possess two essential elements: financial resources and a meaningful purpose in life. Make prudent investment choices to secure good returns and ensure a comfortable retirement...

I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio of $450k dwindle away is such an ick.

I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

thanks for the effort and sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. my problems with these funds is on the bonds side. since i am now in the very beginning of my retirement, i prefer my bonds to truly act as a safety net to my equity holdings. i want my bonds to be short term/intermediate term treasury funds/etfs. i do not want long term bonds with their exposure to interest rates. i do not want corporate bonds with their exposure to credit risk. i do not want international bonds with their exposure to currency risk. that said, while i was in my accumulation phase, i invested in both Vanguard Target Date funds and Wellington Admiral. both had decent results and made investing more automatic and that was a good thing! thumbs up.

@me-myself-i787 Ай бұрын

Long-term government bonds are only volatile if you plan on selling before maturity. If you wait until maturity, they're safer than short-term bonds because you're not exposed to any interest rate cuts. My recommendation would be, get Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities with a maturity date after you expect to die. That way, you will have predictable income which keeps up with inflation.

As a single without commitments, I think many of us are interested in other more suitable strategies - that will also withdraw part of the portfolio as we live and the goal is adjust and leave as little as possible for "others".., I often wonder about it. lol

Good video Rob! I plan on keeping my Vanguard TDF for life. I like its index based structure, diversification, low costs and the fact that it includes TIPS as the target date draws closer. That said, I found (as you pointed out) that it's stock allocation (50%) when the target date is reached was too conservative for my taste so I just chose a fund 5 years beyond my retirement date. So I'll be 60% equities when I retire, then it will go down to 50% 5 years later and, seven years after that, it will be 30% and that is something I can live with as I'll be a lot older by then.

Honestly, as you age you should ALSO be changing your asset allocation to be more conservative. So, maybe instead of targeting your retirement year .. you target your longevity year. For instance.. if you have a retirement plan to make your money last until you are 90 years old, and the year you turn 90 is 2060, then you could choose that year and the fund shifts for your longevity downcount.

Yes you could put your money into date funds if you wanted to pay a butt load in management fees every month. Me I like keeping my money in my account and not be giving away my money in fees to.some fund managers who in the long run do even worse that the S&P 500. I only invest in a low fee S&P 500 index mutual fund. That way I keep as much of my money in my pocket as I can. When I am ready to retire then I will set up a multable year cash fund so when the market is down I have safe cash to draw on. When the market is flat or up I will draw out of the S&P 500 fund.

I understand the theory behind these "retirement" funds. When you retire, you need secure income without risk, so they buy high grade bonds and a few conservative stocks, more or less depending on your risk tolerance. But in periods of high inflation like today, fixed income is not so great. Your income won't grow with inflation, and the stock price will fall. If you have to liquidate in an emergency, you lose big. So don't get lulled into thinking these are always the way to go. They are great when inflation is low, or even just steady, but when inflation is rising, they lose real income and stock value. They are right for some people who just don't know anything or don't want to bother, but if you are a well educated investor with time to research investments, you can do better with high dividend stocks, albeit with more risk.

I get the impression that the active managers follow conventional wisdom on balancing equity vs debt, large cap vs small. Are there any active managers who employ people who watch industries and niches? For example, does anyone watch for upcoming developments in electronics, energy generation, manufacturing technology, and the like? Did any active manager anticipate AI?

Unless 100% of your investable assets are in Qualified accounts like IRA,401k.. then this simple strategy will cost you in Tax efficiency. Having stocks in taxable accounts and Bonds in IRA type accounts results in less overall tax paid as the stocks will be capital gains rate. Sequence of Return Risk is a big threat to early retirees (ie reverse dollar cost averaging) , and one strategy might be to buy a 90% bond fund-or cash, just before retirement, then increase your stock allocation every couple or three yrs .. increasing your stocks as you get older..

Are these iShares Life Path ETFs a good choice for a taxable brokerage account?

@markwalters7498 7 ай бұрын

Interesting, the BlackRock Retirement ETF has the same 40/60 allocation as their AOM Moderate Growth fund. Seems like 2 different strategies (mod growth vs. income) but same allocations?

I’m not a fan of the Vanguard life strategy funds because Vanguard for some reason uses the more expensive “investor” share class instead of admiral shares to make up the fund. It still is a generally fair price, but that choice makes me question the motives of those designing the funds.

I plan to retire in a few years time and have our money tied up in Vanguard index funds etc just in case im not missing anything would you sell stocks on a monthly basis or annually to live off?

Thank Rob. Do any Target Date Funds include automating actual RMDs? I think the Fidelity 2005 and 2010 are are step in the direction of a guide path for those 5 or 10 years into retirement. To really have one fund in retirement, an aging glide path is helpful. So too would be automating actual RMDs.

Individual funds won't handle your RMDs for you, but the broker you buy them through certainly can. For example, if you use Fidelity, you can invest whichever of their funds, or iShares funds, or others that you choose and independent of those investments, you can set up a schedule and automation for the withdrawing of RMDs with Fidelity. You tell Fidelity which of your IRAs to withdraw from (if you have more than one and assuming all your IRAs are managed by them), when during the year to make those withdrawals (once per year, or quarterly or ...), what date(s) to make the withdrawals, whether to have estimated taxes withheld or not, where the money should be deposited, the amounts of the withdrawals (just enough to cover the RMD or more?), which of your investment funds within your IRA should be sold to cover the withdrawals, etc. As you can see, there are a lot of different decisions for you to make when it comes to how RMDs should be handled, even if you end up having them automated. The fund company doesn't know (and you don't want them to know) all the personal information involved, but your broker does. Note that if you have multiple IRAs managed by different Brokers (i.e. one at Fidelity and another handled by Schwab), you need to coordinate with each broker individually, if you wish to have RMD money pulled from both IRAs. That's a good reason to consolidate them under one broker. Note you can have all the RMDs for a given year pulled from only one of your IRAs as long as the amount that is pulled is sufficient to cover the annual RMD required for the total value of all your IRAs combined.

would converting from target date to in retirement fund have tax consequences in a taxable account or would it be close enough to a wash sale?

Bonds are not always a conservative investment, it depends where they are in price and the rate environment.

Growth company funds or stocks....if you cannot handle the risk buy dividend paying stable companies like Verizon? MO? The stock prices do not move much but you can get yourself a 7 to 10 per cent dividend. Cheers!

Thanks for a helpful discussion! I have heard that after retirement and outside of an IRA putting your assets in an asset allocation fund has negative tax consequences so it is not a good idea. Do you agree and please comment/ explain this?

How do you consolidate your funds to get them all into a life strategy fund? Isn’t there a big tax bill coming from capital gains gains in a taxable?

If you are not investment savvy and want a reasonable way to invest, do in target funds and do not fret. You will be ahead of the crowd. No real need for an advisor. I invested regularly in a target fund, and invested smaller amounts in stocks, which helped me to gain a better knowledge of the overall market, etc.. Fidelity and Vanguard are both trustworthy. Do not invest in niche funds like ESG. Sounds good but really just a subjective, marketing gimmick, not necessarily a sound investment strategy.

All I want to know is what is the return on these funds. Could you please disclose this in your videos.

@josephsullivan8654 5 ай бұрын

Rob, I was a 401K administrator for several companies over the years. I found the target date funds significantly underperformed the market for overall fund return. I know they have a mixture of stocks and bonds depending on the the retiremnet date. Ive listened to several of your videos and enjoy them immensly, how come you do not focus at all on total returns for the funds? You seem to focus on fees and asset allocation.

@TonyCox1351 5 ай бұрын

Rob believes in holding a mix of stocks and bonds and international diversification. If you watch his videos on his own personal portfolio, it’s very similar to a TDF. So the reason he pushes it so much is because he obviously prefers safety and diversity over “total returns”
