Friday, June 19, 2009 Where Does the Target Date Debate Stand? What, if anything, will the Department of Labor and SEC decide to do to target date funds? On Thursday the two regulators held an all-day, nine-panel hearing on the successes and failures of the popular, age-based asset allocation funds (see our sister publication for complete coverage: The 401kWire, 6/18/2009). The Wall Street Journal's Eleanor Laise provides a glimpse at the hearing.
