Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80 percent of its assets in the component securities of the FTSE South Korea Capped Index and in depositary receipts representing such securities. The FTSE South Korea Capped Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index maintained and calculated by FTSE Russell with a capping methodology applied quarterly to issuer weights so that no single issuer of a component exceeds 25 percent of the FTSE South Korea Capped Index weight, and all issuers with weights above 5 percent do not cumulatively exceed 50 percent of the FTSE South Korea Capped Indexs weight. The FTSE South Korea Capped Index is based on the FTSE South Korea Index and is designed to measure the performance of South Korean large- and mid-capitalization stocks. FTSE Russell determines eligible securities for the FTSE South Korea Capped Index based on measures such as the companys place of incorporation, listing country, investor protection regulations present in the country of incorporation, tax domicile, location of headquarters/factors of production and currency of denomination.

If you've ever assumed retirement meant having a seven-figure nest egg, you're in good company — and maybe a little stressed.
For years, Americans have treated the $1 million mark as the gold standard for retiring comfortably. Anything less? Cue the panic attacks.
But according to Northwestern Mutual's just-released <a href="https://news.northwesternmutual.com/planning-and-progress-study-2025">2025 Planning &amp; Progress Study</a>, the average American now believes they need $1.26 million tucked away to retire in peace. That's actually down from $1.46 million last year.

</ul>
Sure, the so-called magic number dropped by $200,000, but don't pop the champagne just yet. According to the same study, most Americans are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43856927/billionaire-blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-says-people-are-saving-too-much-and-not-investing-enough-to-retire-with-dignity">still wildly unprepared</a>. More than half – 51% – say it's somewhat or very likely they'll outlive their savings. Only 16% feel confident that outliving their savings is "very unlikely."&nbsp;&nbsp;
So if your retirement plan is "hope for the best," you're not alone.
The ‘magic number' to retire comfortably may be down this year, but it's still far beyond what many people actually have. And the gap isn't just wide — it's a canyon.&nbsp;
<a href="https://institutional.vanguard.com/insights-and-research/report/how-america-saves.html?cmpgn=IIG:TL:HAS:HAS24:SRCH:PS:XX:TL:GG:Unknown:Phrase:TLEAD:20230615:BD:NONE:NONE:KW:401kGeneral&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=17413933089&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADyd_RXD2epePnTlHlLRHWErHyW3U">Vanguard's 2024 report</a> puts the average 401(k) balance across all age groups at just $134,128. That's barely a tenth of what Americans say they'll need to retire comfortably.

And what's behind the drop? Inflation is still top of mind, but it's cooled off—dropping from around 6% in 2023 to <a href="https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2025/the-consumer-price-index-rose-3-0-percent-from-january-2024-to-january-2025.htm">about 3% in 2024</a>. That doesn't mean prices are falling; it just means they're not rising quite as fast. Groceries still feel like a splurge and rent still makes you cry, but apparently, that slight dip was enough for Americans to shave down their expectations.
Either way, the new target still feels like a stretch. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">One in four Americans has just a single year of income saved</a>. Among Gen X'ers, 52% have saved up to three times their annual income, but&nbsp; 54% don't think they'll be financially ready to retire when the time comes.<a href="https://www.asppa-net.org/news/2025/4/magic-number-for-retirement-drops-with-inflation/">&nbsp;</a>
Which raises a fair question—not from a study or expert, just plain observation: Are Americans adjusting the number because they think they can genuinely live on less, or have they just accepted that $1.26 million sounds more reachable than $1.46 million? Maybe this is optimism. Maybe it's financial fatigue.&nbsp;

If you're wondering how anyone hits that $1.26 million target: you either start young or start wealthy. To get there by age 65, a 20-year-old would need to sock away $330 a month at a 7% return. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40295808/youre-40-50-or-60-do-you-know-how-much-you-should-have-saved-for-retirement-by-now">Wait until you're 50? </a>That jumps to a casual $3,958 per month.<a href="https://www.asppa-net.org/news/2025/4/magic-number-for-retirement-drops-with-inflation/">&nbsp;</a>
Yes, the goal dipped—but the struggle to reach it hasn't. Americans may be adjusting expectations, but most still have a long way to go before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">retirement feels anything close to "comfortable."</a>

Can You Guess What Americans Think They Need To Retire Comfortably? Hint: The 'Magic Number' Just Dropped From Last Year

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that around 57% of Americans will need long-term care at some point</li>
<li>Most households have grossly underestimated the potential cost of that long-term care, and aren't aware that they will have to pay out of pocket for much of it</li>
<li>The total cost of long-term care can be significant, extending beyond $100,000</li>
</ul>
Long-term care costs can be significant, extending well beyond $100,000, but experts tell <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/17/why-long-term-care-costs-can-be-a-huge-problem.html">CNBC</a> that most households aren't prepared to handle the expense.
"People don't plan for it in advance," certified financial planner Carolyn McClanahan told the network. "It's a huge problem."
A 2022 <a href="https://www.urban.org/research/publication/long-term-services-and-supports-older-americans">report</a> by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Urban Institute says that 57% of Americans turning 65 will develop a disability that is serious enough to require long-term care. The average cost of this long-term care is $122,400, the report said.

</ul>
On average, families will pay for 37% of the total cost of this long-term care out of pocket, with the rest covered by insurance and public programs.&nbsp;
"It's pretty clear [workers] don't have that amount of savings in retirement, that amount of savings in their checking or savings accounts, and the majority don't have long-term care insurance," Employee Benefit Research Institute strategist Bridget Bearden told CNBC. "So where is the money going to come from?"
Costs for long-term care vary widely, depending on where you live. However, <a href="https://www.carescout.com/cost-of-care">data</a> collected by Genworth and CareScout put the national average for a home health aide at $6,483 per month and $5,900 for a spot in an assisted living facility.&nbsp;
Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wideradvisor-retirement-planning">Schedule your free call with a financial advisor to start your financial journey – no cost, no obligation</a>.&nbsp;
Still, many people grossly underestimate how much long-term care could potentially cost them. A recent Employee Benefit Research Institute <a href="https://www.ebri.org/health/content/employee-perspectives-on-long-term-care">report</a> found that "a significant proportion of future caregivers had not estimated LTC costs," and those who had expected them to remain under $50,000. Additionally, the report found that 43% of future caregivers expected Medicare to cover the costs of long-term care, and 29% expected Medicaid to foot the bill.
Experts told CNBC that estimates like these are not realistic. Health insurance generally doesn't cover long-term care services, and Medicare only covers select aspects, they say.
McClanahan told CNBC that Medicare typically covers skilled care for up to 100 days, which covers things like rehab or medicine administration, but will not cover the custodial care required for daily activities like bathing and dressing.&nbsp;

As for Medicaid, the largest payer of long-term care costs, not everyone will qualify. Most people who are eligible for these benefits come from low-income households. "You basically have to be destitute" for Medicaid to kick in, she said.
"The challenge with long-term care costs is they're unpredictable," McClanahan told CNBC. "You don't always know when you'll get sick and need care."&nbsp;
She advises Gen Xers and Millennials to begin planning for potential long-term care needs now. "When you think through it in advance, it keeps the decisions way more level-headed," she said.

In the current market session, Principal Financial Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFG#NASDAQ">PFG</a>) share price is at $77.89, after a 0.84% drop. Over the past month, the stock spiked by 1.38%, but over the past year, it actually fell by 3.53%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748642422_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Principal Financial Group P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Principal Financial Group has a better P/E ratio of 16.82 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 13.53 of the Insurance industry. Ideally, one might believe that Principal Financial Group Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748642422_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSGP#NASDAQ">CSGP</a>), a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information, analytics and 3D digital twin technology in the property markets, announced today that CoStar Group and Happening Technology have concluded their dispute, with all parties withdrawing every claim with prejudice, bringing the matter to a final and amicable close.
Guy Wolcott, a serial entrepreneur, founded the successful residential real estate platform Homesnap in 2012, which CoStar Group acquired in 2020 for $250 million. At the time of the acquisition, Homesnap was used regularly by over 300,000 residential agents in the United States. After departing CoStar, Wolcott, Thomas Goff, and Jeff Repanich launched Happening Technology to develop an innovative data pipeline product, with former Homesnap CEO John Mazur later becoming an investor and board member. Similarities between this product and CoStar's internal data pipeline technology prompted CoStar's reasonable concern regarding potential trade secret misappropriation — concerns that have now been fully addressed. Following a thorough review, the parties concluded that neither Happening Technology nor Wolcott, Goff, Repanich, or Mazur misappropriated CoStar's trade secrets or violated any other legal obligation.
CoStar Group and Happening Technology are pleased to put this matter behind them and are open to exploring potential opportunities for collaboration in the future.
