While I was doing my Ph.D., the financial crisis of 2008 brought the world’s attention to retirement investors who lost a significant portion of their nest egg. Their plight led me to explore the retirement plan scenario in general and Target-Date Funds in particular, as a large number of investors were defaulted into them. My research uncovered potential agency problems associated with the structure of those funds and led me to my current job.At Edelman Financial Engines, we work hard to empower the average American investor with sophisticated investment tools available to institutional investors that enables them to make informed investment decisions and stay on track for a comfortable retirement. As a researcher, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to help our clients by creating strategies for income distribution in retirement, developing financial planning tools, and working with planners to deliver solutions to financial problems faced by our clients.
