Trump's order adds risky alternative assets to 401(k)s

Critics cite higher fees, less transparency, and liquidity concerns compared to traditional retirement plans, raising questions about investor understanding and suitability. The move could fundamentally alter retirement investing, requiring new products and increased education to manage the risks and complexities of these less-tested assets.
