On April 8, 2025, 401(k) trading reached its highest volume since March 2020, nearly ten times the normal levels, according to Alight Solutions. This surge in trading activity reflects a significant shift among retirement savers, who moved funds out of U.S. stocks and target-date funds into bonds and money markets amid ongoing market volatility. Financial experts have noted that this trend is indicative of growing concern among investors regarding the stability of the stock market, particularly as it relates to retirement savings. The heightened trading activity follows a week of market turmoil that has prompted many to reconsider their investment strategies, especially those nearing retirement or planning to draw from their accounts soon.
