# Private credit companies promote new funds to attract pension funds

Private credit companies are launching new investment tools to reach ordinary investors in the U.S. by increasing the compatibility of products with 401(k) and other retirement accounts. These new funds offer individual investors the option for periodic cash-out (redemption). Major companies are currently awaiting guidance from the Labor Department to clarify how to open private credit and other assets to 401(k) investors. Companies like Blackstone, KKR, and Blue Owl Capital are launching Interval Funds and collaborating with retirement plan sponsors to introduce these products into retirement accounts. They believe that current individual retirement accounts are overly tilted towards public stocks
