These plans had the advantage not only of diversifying one’s initial investment allocation into a basket of stocks, bonds, and cash options (based on age), but also gradually changed this allocation over time, to become more conservative as one’s retirement date grew nearer. By making these sorts of funds the default option (again, allowing employees to opt out of them), Thaler discovered a plan that allowed employees to make investment decisions that were more in line with historical trends that have provided reliable growth for retirement savings (such as diversifying and putting more of one’s investment into equities and eschewing overinvestment in one’s company stock).
