Episode 84, Jeff Clark, author of "How America Saves 2025," Vanguard's annual report on workplace 401(k) plans, host Rick Ferri

Jeff Clark is a 27-year veteran of Vanguard Workplace Solutions, Head of Defined Contribution Research, and author of How America Saves 2025. We discuss trends in defined contribution plans and how auto-enrollment and target-date funds are changing the way Americans save and invest for retirement. Rick Ferri, CFA , a long-time Boglehead and investment adviser, hosts the Bogleheads on Investing podcast. The Bogleheads are a group of like-minded individual investors who follow the general investment and business beliefs of John C. Bogle, founder and former CEO of the Vanguard Group. It is a conflict-free community where individual investors reach out and provide education, assistance, and relevant information to other investors of all experience levels at no cost. The organization supports a free forum at Bogleheads.org , and the wiki site is Bogleheads® wiki . Since 2000, the Bogleheads have held national conferences in major cities across the country. The 2025 conference will take place in San Antonio, Texas, from October 17 to 19. In addition, local Chapters and foreign Chapters meet regularly, and new Chapters form periodically. All Bogleheads activities are coordinated by volunteers who contribute their time and talent. This podcast is supported by the John C. Bogle Center for Financial Literacy , a non-profit organization approved by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity on February 6, 2012. Your tax-deductible donation to the Bogle Center is appreciated.
