On September 24, 2026, The Capitol Forum hosted a conference call with Barry James Dyke, President of Castle Asset Management and author of Black Eyes for BlackRock, to discuss the growing role of private equity and alternative investments in the retirement system and the potential risks for American savers and retirees.
In a conversation with The Capitol Forum Executive Editor Teddy Downey, Dyke examined how changes across asset management, private markets, and retirement investing may affect retirement income and financial security.
The discussion also explored concerns surrounding distressed private equity-backed companies and what the continued expansion of private-market investments could mean for retirement portfolios and American savers.
