A recent study finds many millennial investors are making a mistake when it comes to their allocation strategy—one that could cost them. BlackRock Blog Global Editor Ann Hynek shares her millennial perspective. From a young age, my parents ingrained in me the importance of saving and investing. My dad, ever the CPA, stressed the importance of capturing those tax-free dollars in my company’s 401(k) plan, even when I could barely make ends meet in my first job out of college.
