Annuities in Target Date Funds

A recent Wall Street Journal article (click here to read--subscription required) discusses annuity products that are available in target date mutual funds.

As indicated in the article, target date funds came under pressure after the financial crisis because of the losses (around 40 percent in some cases) of funds that were intended to be more conservative for near-term retirees.

Companies mentioned in the Journal article include:

  • BlackRock
  • AllianceBernstein
  • Prudential Financial
  • Great West Retirement Services

Annuity product types mentioned include fixed deferred and variable.
