Welcome to the Parachute Podcast, where host Tom Lydon discusses the experience, wit and wisdom of people of influence in the area of finance and investing.

You’ve landed at a place where advisors and investors are looking to learn from others.

A financial parachute offers you safety over time. But your parachute is different from everyone else’s. It’s made from experiences, time, people you know and your own individual interests.

How much time and effort you put into building your parachute will determine how safely you will land.

But first, you need the guts to jump.

ETF of the Week: Target Date Mutual Funds and ETFs

Sep 9, 2021

ETF Trends CEO Tom Lydon discussed target date mutual funds and ETFs on this week’s “ETF of the Week” podcast with Chuck Jaffe on the MoneyLife Show.

The whole idea is that target date mutual funds and ETFs make it easy for the investor. It just involves picking the date that is thought to be a retiring date in the future, which tends to be rolling every five-year period. The fund company would then allocate within that ETF or mutual fund a stock and bond mix that would decrease equity holdings and increased fixed income holdings over time.
