BOSTON (Reuters) – T. Rowe Price Group Inc said on Thursday it would boost the stock allocation in its target-date retirement fund portfolios to as much as 98% from 90% for younger investors.

T. Rowe, which manages $292 billion in active target-date portfolios, said it would hold the 98% allocation constant until investors are 35 years from retirement.

The final allocation, 30 years past retirement, would be 30% stocks, up from the current level of 20%, the company said.
