Why Most 401(k) Investment Lineups Underperform: Data Isn’t Research

Recent research shows that most 401(k) investment lineups underperform simple index benchmarks, and one key reason is the over-reliance on data rather than true investment research. Tools like Morningstar and FI360 provide useful metrics but stop short of delivering the deeper insights necessary for selecting the right managers. To improve outcomes, advisers need to move beyond surface-level data and embrace thorough research that provides a clearer understanding of investment performance and its potential for the future.

 

Watch our on-demand webinar with Zachary Allen, CFA, Chief Investment Officer at Pension Consultants, Inc., to learn why data alone isn’t enough and how research-driven decisions can improve your 401(k) plan’s performance.
