My issue with target date funds is they have higher fees than plain index funds even though they are just a bunch of index funds thrown together using the simple age + x formula to determine the stock/bond ratio. You could build your own with the index fund choices and pay less fees. With millions in an account even a few basis points of fees really add up.
