Target-date retirement funds automatically do.


Only when you’re getting close to the target retirement date. Even those funds benefit from downturns early to mid-career.


And even these days the typical investor probably uses a financial advisor, who would do such fund reallocation, even if they don't use target date funds explicitly (which they should).


Do they really? When I've looked around at financial advisors they've wanted at least several percent annually of AUM, which, to my mind, is just insane.


I agree. I don’t use them myself. There are few-only financial advisors though, which are all I’d recommend people use.

I’m just saying financial advisors are common. Not that they should be.
