Private equity and private debt are starting to catch the attention of everyday retirement savers. Whether they are participating in 401K, 403b or 457 plans, the interest and demand continue to grow.
According to Schroders’ 2025 U.S. Retirement Survey, 45% of participants say they would invest in private assets if they had the option. That's up from 36% just a year ago. What's stands out even more is that 77% say they would increase their plan contributions if private investments were available.
