Yeah it’s all a scam. They need the money not just from pension plans but from all the people who are in 401Ks to make this work. Hence the rule changes allowing it to skip the standard wait times and profitability metrics to be listed as part of the be part of the top indexes so that most popular ETFs that make up most 401k funds will be required to carry them.
It’s all a fucking scam to get other little guys money.
