Abstract

Broadly diversified equity portfolios that pursue the size, value, and profitability premiums can help investors enter retirement with more assets, better sustain their retirement spending, and pass on larger bequests. Our study finds that even moderate exposure to the premiums can significantly improve retirement outcomes. The results are applicable to the design of retirement asset allocations, target date funds, and managed accounts.
