Saint Jack strikes again.
This time, the founder of
Vanguard [
profile] spoke his mind to
Morningstar.
Bogle argued that many target-date products are under-allocated with regards to equities and that investors need to consider a variety of dividends.
In his comments, he declared:
Well, I worry about target-date funds, and I've raised this issue and not gotten many responses. But target-date funds, I think, have a flaw, and that is there should be some consideration when you set your target date as to what you will receive from Social Security in particular. I think the math is that if you're a high-earning investor and defer your Social Security payments until you're 70 or 70 1/2, the capitalized value of that Social Security is something like $500,000. And if you're a lower-income investor, an average-income investor, and you retire and start taking payments at 62 1/2 or whatever that number is, the pool is worth, I think, around $300,000.
