Higher performance among investors in target-date funds suggests a possible behavioral benefit of a passive default that requires no active monitoring by investors. Access to a human advisor and an asset allocation matched to employee risk preferences can also help investors avoid trading after a market decline. This paper explores the relationship between trading activity and advice-seeking behavior among 5 million US DC participants during the COVID-19 pandemic, comparing self-directors and target-date fund investors to those using managed accounts service. We find participants who use target-date funds are less likely to phone during a market crash. Participants in managed accounts are the least likely to trade after seeking advice. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that passive default can improve outcomes where active choice can harm outcomes, and personalized defaults with access to advice can help participants avoid investment mistakes.</p>","PeriodicalId":100529,"journal":{"name":"FINANCIAL PLANNING REVIEW","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135973349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine the role of race and gender on financial advice seeking among U.S. households by employing a decomposition technique. The findings highlight that asking for financial advice is not determined by race or gender in and of itself, but by the racial and gender differences in the predictors associated with financial advice seeking. Black and female consumers were found to be more likely to ask for financial advice when making savings and investment decisions. The relationships between financial advice seeking and income level, employment status, education level, and subjective knowledge differed significantly for Black and White consumers. Employment status, race, and homeownership differed significantly for women and men seeking financial advice. The results show that the predictors which explain financial advice seeking may not apply in the same way to all consumers. Practitioners can use this research to refine how they market and gain a better understanding of how race and gender are associated with certain important variables that are associated with seeking financial advice.</p>","PeriodicalId":100529,"journal":{"name":"FINANCIAL PLANNING REVIEW","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135425140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
