President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14330 to expand access to alternative asset investments for participants in 401(k) and other defined-contribution retirement plans. The order directs the Secretary of Labor to review and potentially revise existing guidelines to allow plan fiduciaries to include alternative assets, such as private market investments, real estate, and digital assets, in retirement portfolios. This initiative aims to offer Americans the opportunity for enhanced diversification and potentially higher returns, similar to those available to institutional investors. The order also seeks to reduce regulatory and litigation barriers that currently limit such investment options.
