What 401(k) Investors Need to Know About Private Markets
On this special episode of WSJ’s Take On the Week, co-host Telis Demos and guest co-host Miriam Gottfried explain why the private market has its eyes on your 401(k) retirement savings account. To offer insight into what that means for retirement savers, we’ll be joined by two separate guests. The first is Holly Verdeyen, partner and U.S. defined contribution leader at Mercer, a human resources consultant and asset manager. Verdeyen shares why and how the addition of private investment assets to a retirement portfolio can affect long-term savers and what differentiates private assets from public assets like stocks and bonds.
Later on the show, we’re joined by WSJ’s retirement and personal finance reporter, Anne Tergesen, to further explore which investors are best suited for investing in private assets, and what a first-of-its-kind private credit ETF between asset managers State Street and Apollo means for investors. Tergesen lays out the additional fees and restrictions that come from putting money into private assets that investors should be aware of.
This is WSJ’s Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street’s banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.
