最新报道:Private market assets like venture capital and private equity are increasingly being included in 401(k) retirement plans, according to a CNBC report. Major financial firms including BlackRock and Fidelity are working to make these traditionally high-risk, illiquid investments accessible to everyday retirement savers through new fund structures. The move comes as regulators ease restrictions, though critics warn of potential risks for unsophisticated investors. Proponents argue private markets offer diversification and higher returns compared to public markets. The trend could significantly expand access to alternative investments, with some estimates suggesting private market allocations in 401(k)s could reach 15% within a decade.
