Vanguard says retirees often have the wrong 401(k) investment mix
Vanguard says many retirees have an unsuitable 401(k) mix in their investment portfolios.
The company’s new report says portfolios can be too cautious or too risky.
A 401(k) is a workplace retirement savings plan, and its investments can affect how savings grow and fluctuate.
Retirees need a mix that fits their circumstances, but few have a plan to fix it, according to the report.
The finding matters because an unsuitable mix can leave retirement savings exposed to risks retirees may not want.
