Or perhaps not. You don't want to retire at a moment when the retirement fund is down 20% and decides to pay no interest on your savings for the next 10 years. Or not pay you at all.

It doesn't really matter. 20% down from peak after 30 years of growth is going to be far over your book value.

The Dotcom Bubble isn't coming back for 20%. It's coming back for everything.

Isn't this precisely what target date funds are for?

they don't solve anything, because the market can still be down at the moment when they move your wealth to a less variable market.
