Are Target-Date Funds Making the Grade?


In Tuesday's Wall Street Journal Fund Track column, Jilian Mincer reported on the performance of near-term target-date funds. Target products with maturity dates of between 2005 and 2010 have lost less than the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, Mincer wrote, citing numbers from Morningstar. From October 1 through February 20, the average total return among the target funds was a decline of 4.8 percent, versus a drop of 10.2 percent for the S&P 500, including dividends.
