September 19, 2025Partner and leader of the employee benefits and executive compensation practice Craig Bitman was quoted in a Mansion Global article discussing the recent executive order aiming to expand access to alternative investments, including cryptocurrency, private equity, and real estate, in ERISA-governed retirement accounts.
Craig said, “The executive order doesn’t mandate anything.
