In this episode of Redefine Retirement, host Ryan Wheless powered by Allied Wealth, Ryan explores a major 2025 regulatory change that has opened access to the previously exclusive world of private equity and private credit for everyday investors. He explains how these private markets - historically dominated by the ultra-wealthy - have outperformed the S&P 500 by over 5% annually since 1988, offering higher returns with significantly lower volatility due to less frequent repricing, active operational improvements by funds, and a focus on middle-market companies. Using examples like private equity roll-ups of veterinary practices and private credit lending to fill the void left by tightened bank regulations post-2008, Ryan highlights perpetual fund structures that provide ongoing income (e.g., 9-10% yields), partial liquidity, and lower entry points. He stresses the potential for a balanced portfolio (e.g., one-third public markets, one-third private markets, one-third non-market assets) to reduce risk more effectively than chasing higher returns alone, urging listeners to discuss these opportunities with their advisors as they could help solve America's retirement crisis.
