Trump executive order to help open up 401(k)s to private markets

An order could help pave the way for big managers of private assets such as Apollo Global Management and Blackstone to access the vast sums of retirement savings held by workers who don’t have a traditional pension. Institutional investors such as pension funds have largely maxed out on private markets, leading firms to look to individual investors for new sources of growth. 


 

“We’ll likely need to see litigation reform, or at least some advice reform in the U.S. to add private markets exposure” into defined-contribution retirement plans, Martin Small, finance chief of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, said Tuesday during a conference call with analysts.
