TARGET DATE-TYPE RETIREMENT PLANS - From EBRI: The nonpartisan Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) published a study of target-date fund investments, exploring whether plan demographic characteristics would affect individual participant contribution rates and target-date fund investments for participants in relation to plan demographics by considering target replacement income and its success rate.
