There was a time when Paul was very critical about target date funds. But important circumstances made him more accepting of the important value of target date funds. He discusses why he changed his mind but explains why he still thinks you should build the glide path on your own.
He also responds to Ken Fisher’s comments about the small cap and large cap historical returns. In the discussion Paul recommends listeners take a look at the quilt charts that show individual asset class and portfolio annual returns.
