Abstract

President Trump’s Executive Order 14330 proclaims its determination to “democratiz[e] access to alternative investments for 401(k) investors.” Among its other provisions, Executive Order 14330 requires the Department of Labor (DOL) to “clarify the duties that a fiduciary owes to plan participants.” Such clarification shall “relieve the regulatory burdens and litigation risk that” allegedly deny 401(k) participants access to alternative investments. However, the order states, DOL’s administrative guidance on alternative investments must be “consistent with applicable law.”
