Understanding the Basics of Managed Accounts

As interest in offering investment advice to plan participants grows, it’s important to understand the benefits and drawbacks of offerings such as managed accounts. Learn the basics in this episode of the Fiduciary Advice @ Work podcast.

In this episode, we talk through the basics of managed accounts, including:

  • Why there is growing interest in offering investment advice to plan participants
  • How managed accounts compare and contrast to target retirement date funds
