F-Squared Investments has published a white paper on how plan fiduciaries of 401(k) and other retirement plans can address growing participant concerns about market risk and volatility in their retirement savings accounts. The paper, "Reducing Volatility in Defined Contribution Plans: The Fiduciary Considerations of Incorporating Downside Risk Management," was written in conjunction with former Assistant Secretary of Labor Bradford Campbell. It addresses the significant losses that can occur during market crashes. The white paper explains how plan fiduciaries can incorporate new defensive strategies into their menu of investment options in order to better meet the needs of their participants. It also provides guidance on considerations that plan fiduciaries need to be mindful of while incorporating these alternative strategies.
