What is 'Private Equity'?


Private equity is collapsing—and now they want your retirement savings to bail them out.

President Trump’s team just leaked a potential executive order that would unlock $12.2 trillion in 401(k) assets for risky private equity investment.

These are the same firms sitting on a $3 trillion pile of toxic, unsellable debt.

Harvard and Yale, with nearly 95% of their endowments in these same funds, haven’t been able to sell off $8 billion worth of PE for eight months. And their returns? A weak 5–7% over 4 years—while the S&P 500 soared 95%.

Now they want YOU to buy in—with your retirement.

This is not about access. It’s a setup.

It’s a billionaire bailout dressed as opportunity.
