President Donald Trump has announced plans to sign an executive order allowing alternative assets like private equity, cryptocurrencies, and real estate into 401(k) retirement plans. This move, set to be implemented by the U.S. Secretary of Labor, marks a significant shift in the investment landscape for retirement savings governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

The decision to include private market investments in 401(k) plans has been met with mixed reactions. While some see this as a positive step towards diversification and potential higher returns, others raise concerns about the risks associated with these types of assets. Private market investments have traditionally been excluded from 401(k) plans due to their high fees, lack of transparency, and longer lockup periods.

However, the Department of Labor had previously indicated that private market exposure in defined contribution plans could be appropriate under certain conditions. This guidance, issued during the first Trump administration and later affirmed by the Biden-directed agency, paved the way for asset managers and plan sponsors to offer products that incorporate private investments.

The inclusion of private assets in retirement vehicles has been on the rise, with Americans collectively holding approximately $8.7 trillion in assets in 401(k) plans as of the first quarter of 2025. Major players in the asset management industry, such as BlackRock and Empower, have already begun incorporating private investments into their retirement offerings.

The news of Trump’s executive order has already had an impact on the market, with Bitcoin and private equity stocks like Apollo Group seeing an uptick in response. As the landscape of retirement investing continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how this shift towards alternative assets shapes the future of 401(k) plans.

Overall, the move towards including private market investments in 401(k) plans reflects a broader trend towards diversification and innovation in the retirement savings industry. As the industry continues to adapt to changing market dynamics, investors may have more opportunities to explore alternative avenues for growing their retirement savings.
