The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced proposed guidance to govern eligible investments in Trump Accounts, emphasizing low costs, broad diversification, and long-term growth for children’s savings. The rules would limit investments to low-expense options and exclude high-fee products. State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPYM) will serve as the default investment, with four additional low-cost index ETFs available. The framework requires eligible index funds to measure broad U.S. or global equity market performance using objective criteria. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated the rules aim to ensure “every dollar in a child’s account works toward their financial future.” IRS CEO Frank Bisignano noted that small annual cost differences can significantly impact long-term returns. The guidance applies to future Trump Account trustees, including rollover trustees.
