ALL THE MONEY NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Daniel de Visé Personal Finance Reporter

Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.

Sara Kehaulani Goo's family has owned land in Hana, Maui, for nearly 200 years. It was a gift from a Hawaiian king in 1848, but several years ago, they almost lost it all.

In 2019, while working as a journalist in Washington, D.C., Goo received an email from her father saying the property taxes on the 10 undeveloped acres had skyrocketed over 566%, from $300 to $2,000 in a year.

So began a four-year-long journey for her family to fight for their ancestral lands.

Private equity is coming to your 401(k)

In the past, the private equity world has been largely populated by ultra-rich investors, endowments and pension funds. That may be about to change.

Here's a rundown of what it means, and what retirement savers should do.
