⚠️📈 Alternative Investments in 401(k)s: Smart Move or Big Mistake?

In this episode of the 9Innings Podcast, host Kevin Thompson, founder and CEO of 9i Capital Group, breaks down a brand-new executive order that could change the way Americans invest for retirement.

We’re talking private equity, private credit, and even cryptocurrency inside your 401(k). Kevin explains what these asset classes are, why big asset managers are eager to get them in your plan, and the potential benefits they claim to offer.

But he also pulls no punches on the risks—high fees, limited liquidity, and market volatility—and why, for most investors, the tried-and-true low-cost index fund may still be the smarter play.

Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting your retirement journey, this episode will help you understand the opportunities, the pitfalls, and what to watch for as alternative investments enter the 401(k) game.
