On this Ropes & Gray podcast, benefits consulting principal David Kirchner is joined by Sharon Remmer, an ERISA and benefits partner, and Elliot Saavedra, a senior benefits consultant, to discuss the implications of President Trump’s recent Executive Order encouraging expanded access to alternative assets for retirement plans and the potential impact on plan sponsors. Our speakers discuss the evolving regulatory landscape and provide actionable guidance for plan sponsors and fiduciary committees preparing for potential changes in defined contribution plan investment options. As they discuss in the episode, emphasis should be placed on the importance of prudent governance and ongoing education as the market and regulatory frameworks develop.
