Allstate Closes Target-Date Funds

Allstate has decided to cancel its seven ClearTarget Retirement Funds after only 10 months, saying that it has decided to exit the target-date mutual fund business due to lackluster sales.

“This action is part of a strategy to reduce expenses at Allstate Financial and focus on a narrower set of products that meet everyday Americans’ protection and retirement needs and offer the greatest opportunity for Allstate Financial to compete effectively,” said an Allstate spokeswoman.
