Private equity, real estate, infrastructure, the investments that actually build wealth, should be available to Main Street, not just the connected class in Washington and New York.
Trump signed the Executive Order.
Now it’s time to finish the job by modernizing outdated Carter era rules (PTE 77-4) so every American can secure a stronger retirement.

Exit liquidity!

I’m for opening it up, but there’s a lot more risk to PE than the average Joe realizes. If this is for ETF’s or something similar that’s probably ok, but if direct investment, they’re in for a big surprise when they’re told they can’t liquidate their investment for years.

I don't know about "wall street elites", but the Thrift Savings Fund that fed employees have is just a mix of stock funds. A competently ran 401k fund should have similar results.

If given the opportunity I would elect to take half of what I have contributed tax free to SS right now to opt out permanently and I would end up with more money at the end of my working career than SS would ever pay me in benefits. This will never be a 'choice' because SS is a ponzi scheme that is mandatory.

The thought of investing in PE scares the shite out of me. Retail investors may get access but you know that aren't getting the same insider information.

Can you invest in your own business?

Having sat in on countless VC LP meetings it’s fascinating to watch. The larger LP’s honestly don’t seemed too concerned about the investments and keep churning the LP investments so they can keep access to the funds. Corporate and smaller individuals ask the better questions.
If someone is investing in a private company directly, they don’t realize how easily they can get burned. I know people with finance degrees from good schools that don’t know the difference between a preferred share in a private company vs a public company. Imagine the average person trying to navigate these investments.
