President Trump has mandated regulators to explore changes to rules preventing the inclusion of cryptocurrencies, private equity, and other alternative investments in workplace retirement accounts, known as 401ks. The objective is to provide average workers access to a broader range of investment opportunities traditionally available only to wealthy individuals and firms. Critics caution that this shift may increase risks for retirement savers. While changes to regulations could take time, investment firms have started initiating partnerships to offer private-equity-focused retirement products, reflecting the potential impacts of this directive.
President Trump is making moves to ease regulations on using retirement savings for investments in cryptocurrencies, private equity, and other non-traditional assets.
The intention behind the order is to provide everyday workers access to investments previously limited to affluent individuals while expanding funding sources for firms.
