## Policy Outlook 2025: Implications for the Private Capital Ecosystem

President Trump has officially returned to the White House with an ambitious agenda and a Republican Congress. With unified control, the new administration will shift governing dynamics and policy outcomes that impact the private capital ecosystem—from tax to tech policy to capital markets regulation.

- Key policy areas to watch in 2025, including tax reform and the regulatory landscape for emerging technologies like AI

- The shifting regulatory posture at the SEC and opportunities to unlock greater access to capital and investment opportunities
