How the rich get richer

[skieur]

That are the returns you get with no risk for yourself. But it does not mean that those people you give the money to, do not (to some percentage) do risky business with it to get much more profit from the money than you will ever see. In the worst case the bank goes bankrupt, but that happens not that easily.

I don't think that is necessarily the case. The annual report of the pension fund that I am in, that hit the news as well, indicated that the return on pension fund investments was 16%. That is considerably above average too.
