Today’s deregulatory momentum seeks to tear down even more of the modest safeguards that limit advisers’ ability to sell alternative investments. Amid these shifts, experts expect sales of alternative investments to the public will soar. Both Trump and Atkins, the SEC chair, have described their quests to open alternative investments to everyday investors as righting a wrong.
