An All ETF Target Date Portfolio PSDS Scan 12-31-2013

While waiting for 12-31-2014 data files I am working on my "ToDo" list.  In October of last year Blackrock discontinued their Target Date ETF funds and I had to switch to an alternate source. In this scan I used the only ETF Target Date Funds I could find for which Morningstar has 5yr data. As you can see here when covarince corrections are made to the all ETF portfolio it reveals a 2 parameter "stocks & bond" portfolio. The efficient frontier is a "fuzzy" line typical of a portfolio of one stock fund and one bond fund. Interesting.  **In October 2014 Blackrock discontinued their ETF Target date funds. **

A CaLPERS Hewitt 401k/457 Portfolio Scan 12-31-2013

Hewitt Financial Services (HFS) is one of many listed CaLPERS OPBE actuaries. They list over 6000 mutual funds that have No Transaction Fee on their website. In the Spirit of the "TSP" collection of public retirement portfolios posted on this PSDS Blog, I used the HFS retirement mutual "Fund Lineup" to demonstrate by construction that there are "TSP" portfolios in the "Fund Lineup".

2014 Top 5 401k Plans



The last 5 years have been well above average and many 401k Plans out performed my in-retirement IRA portfolio and the US 401k TSP portfolio.  These results are based on 12-31-2013 5yr Market data which were very good for almost all Market indices.
