The Securities and Exchange Commission has reopened the public comment period for proposed amendments regarding the marketing of target date retirement funds until May 21, 2012. This extension allows stakeholders to review and comment on empirical research conducted by a consultant regarding investor understanding of these funds and their associated marketing materials. The underlying proposal would mandate specific disclosures, such as asset allocation tables and risk statements, to prevent investor confusion and ensure marketing materials are not misleading.
