@lenorepalladino.bsky.social on how unregulated private credit funds can affect U.S. retirement accounts:
Risks escalate for U.S. retirement plans due to unregulated private credit funds and new rules opening them up to retirement savings accounts
Private credit funds heighten financial risks for average Americans investing their retirement savings in these unregulated banking vehicles.
