Unlock Retirement Dollars for Employee Co- Investment

It’s common for private equity firms to invite internal participation in their funds, but personal liquidity concerns can hold people back. By enabling access through retirement accounts, AET helps firms reduce the friction. When employees can invest with IRA or solo 401(k) dollars, capital they’re already allocating for the long term, they’re often more comfortable making a meaningful commitment.

IRAs and Private Equity - both built for the long game

When employees use retirement dollars instead of personal savings, it’s easier to commit to the long-term timeline of your fund. With AET as your qualified custodian, offering access through IRAs becomes easy for both your firm and your investors.
