ICI Welcomes Focus on Expanding Retirement Saving

Washington, DC; April 30, 2026—Investment Company Institute (ICI) Chief of Staff and Chief Strategic Communications Officer Erica Richardson released the following statement regarding President Trump’s executive order (EO) expanding workers’ access to retirement accounts.

“The voluntary retirement system is a clear success of smart government policy meeting the strength and innovation of the private sector. Tax incentives and bipartisan reforms have helped turn investing into a habit for millions, channeling over $30 trillion into Americans’ futures. This model works. We welcome the administration’s focus on expanding retirement saving. The Administration wants to build—let’s work together to build on the foundation already in place to deliver more savings for more American families.”
