According to the Financial Times, Trump is preparing to open cryptocurrency, gold and private equity to the US $9 trillion retirement market, which will stimulate a fundamental change in the way Americans manage their savings. According to three insiders, it is expected that Trump will sign an executive order as early as this week to open up alternative investments beyond traditional stocks and bonds for the 401k retirement plan. These investments will involve a wide range of asset classes, from digital assets to metals, as well as funds focused on corporate acquisitions, private loans, and infrastructure transactions. The above-mentioned insider stated that the executive order will instruct regulatory agencies to investigate the obstacles faced by professional managed funds that include alternative investments for 401k depositors.
