Walberg Applauds DOL Action to Increase Investment Options for American Savers
WASHINGTON, D.C.,
March 30, 2026
Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) released the following statement after the Department of Labor (DOL) announced a proposed rule to make it easier for American workers to invest their 401(k) savings in alternative assets such as private equity, real estate, cryptocurrencies, and more:
“Workers should be able to retire with sustainable and comfortable lifesavings, not endless worry and instability. This means giving employees the resources they need to achieve their savings goals. I applaud the Trump administration for modernizing retirement plans to reflect the wider range of ways Americans can invest and grow their savings." ### |
