In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about how custom benchmarks in target date funds can potentially create a false sense of success. He cautions that using a custom benchmark as the only benchmark to measure performance does not necessarily reflect strong performance if, for example, the underlying strategy is weak. Citing the CFA Institute and the Department of Labor, he stresses the importance of using independent and multiple benchmarks for accurate evaluation. He encourages plan sponsors and advisors to apply a balanced, transparent approach to investment performance reviews.Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information contained herein is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.It is not intended to provide a specific recommendation of any type of product or service discussed in this presentation or to provide any warranties, financial advice, or legal advice.The specific facts and circumstances of all qualified plans can vary, and the information contained in this podcast may or may not apply to your individual circumstances or to your plan or client plan specific circumstances.
