Where private markets meet Defined Contribution

For decades, diversification and investment returns from private markets were out of reach for the 401(k). New regulation is changing that, opening more retirement plans to private equity, private credit, infrastructure, real estate, and beyond.

Awaken's technology propels retirement savers forward. We give asset managers and trustees the infrastructure to package alternatives into 401(k)-ready vehicles, field diligence at scale, and maintain the independent, audit-ready record that fiduciaries require as $1 trillion of 401(k) AUM enters private markets over the next decade.
