Funds like this allow the fund companies to start new funds and channel money into them.

For example T Rwoe Price has new global funds, mid cap funds and small cap funds, plus a new tech fund. Including a small position in these allows TRP to establish an asset base for these funds.

I know what I'm doing (or atleast I've convinced myself I know what I'm doing (LOL)). So no need for a one size fits all approach.

But people which want an autopilot can do much worse than using a target fund.
