Certain behaviors of 401(k) sponsors are being driven by lawsuits, legal exposure, and regulatory sanctions. The behavior being changed the most involves target date funds, which over 75% of consultants surveyed by PIMCO stated was their top priority for plan sponsors over the next year. The second most altered behavior being driven in 2017 involved the evaluation of investment fees.
Active management is another factor that consultants view as important for emerging market equity, U.S. and foreign bonds, infrastructure/MLPS, U.S. small cap equity and foreign developed market equity. 97% of consultants also recommended core or core plus fixed income as a stand-alone core investment option.
