The new S&P/Dow indexes are investable, setting the stage for low-cost passive investments in target date funds, perhaps even cheaper than Vanguard’s 18 basis points. But you get what you pay for. This Website Is For Financial Professionals OnlyThe new S&P Target Date Style Index Series indexes let you choose a “To” or “Through” benchmark. See the announcement here.
Please be aware of the silliness of the way “To” funds are defined, summarized at Crazy Definition. The choice of target date benchmark is in fact a simple choice between two candidates, but they are not “To” or ‘Through.” Instead, think common practice vs. best practices.
