## Resource

The Department of Labor’s new retirement investment rules sparked a massive 45,000-comment response—mostly supportive, especially from employers seeking legal protection. But critics like AARP and AFL-CIO warn the rules could enable risky bets, while industry players like TIAA-CREF and Morningstar pushed for tweaks. Originally pushed by the Trump administration to ease crypto and private equity access, the DOL’s “asset-neutral” approach aims for fairness across all investments—but media hype is missing the forest for the trees. The fiduciary still holds final authority, and while a final rule may arrive by early 2025, its effective date is likely January 1, 2028.
