Asset Allocation Implications of Household Diversity

  • Household assets have grown from around 600% of income in 1950 to 900% today.
  • Real wealth levels have increased much more for older households than for their younger counterparts.
  • Average effects mask considerable variation in the composition of balance sheets across households.
  • Differences in income and wealth levels across households have meaningful implications for asset allocation.
  • However, given the prevalence of traditional target date funds in 401(k) plans, the ability to incorporate cross-sectional differences in household demographics has historically been limited.
