Your guide to what Trump’s second term means for Washington, business, and the world

Donald Trump’s administration is considering an executive order that could potentially shake up the nearly $9 trillion US retirement market by allowing private capital groups to access 401k plans. This move could open the doors for corporate takeovers, property investments, and other high-octane deals, according to sources familiar with the discussions.

In Trump’s first term, he laid the groundwork for private capital to access American retirement savings, but few firms have taken advantage of this opportunity due to concerns about liability risks. The proposed executive order would urge agencies like the departments of Labor and Treasury and the Securities and Exchange Commission to explore the feasibility of including private funds in 401k plans.

Top industry executives believe that offering their funds to 401k retirement plans could attract billions of dollars in new assets. While discussions are ongoing within the Trump administration, no final decisions have been made yet. Both the White House and the Treasury have refrained from commenting on the matter.

In a recent development, the SEC Chair, Paul Atkins, hinted at revisiting restrictions on certain funds holding more than 15% of their assets in private investments. This move aims to provide investors with access to a broader range of assets while ensuring necessary protections.

401k plans are popular among working Americans for saving towards retirement, typically invested in publicly traded securities. However, these plans have limited exposure to private capital funds, which focus on less traditional investments. The private capital industry has struggled to attract institutional investors in recent years, making the inclusion of retirement savings a potentially lucrative opportunity.

While there are risks associated with investing retirement savings in private assets, such as higher fees and less transparency, industry leaders argue that the potential for higher returns outweighs these concerns. The Department of Labor’s recent policy change allowing private equity investments in certain retirement-oriented funds marked a significant shift in regulations.

To address concerns about potential legal challenges, further policy directives from federal regulatory agencies or legislation from Congress may be necessary to provide added protections to asset managers offering private equity investments in 401k plans.

Leading private capital firms like Blackstone, KKR, and Apollo have already started partnerships with major asset managers to offer private investments to a broader range of investors. This move could potentially reshape the landscape of retirement savings and investment options for millions of Americans.

In conclusion, the potential opening of 401k plans to private capital groups could have far-reaching implications for the retirement industry. Stay informed with the White House Watch newsletter for the latest updates on this developing story.
