Ropes & Gray Presents Collective Investment Trusts & 401(k) Plans—How to Take Advantage of the Trend

Join the co-leaders of Ropes & Gray’s collective investment trust (CIT) practice for an in-depth, interactive event exploring the expanding role of CITs in 401(k) plans. As CITs continue to garner significant market interest, especially following President Trump’s August 2025 executive order on the investment of private assets in 401(k) plans, our team will provide critical insights into this rapidly evolving area.

Each event will feature a substantive presentation followed by a cocktail networking reception, offering attendees the opportunity to connect with peers and discuss the latest trends and strategies shaping the retirement plan landscape.
