Does this not follow from the basic 401k structure in this country? Most people will be defaulted into a fund like Vanguard and from what I can gather from my co-workers, none of them are particularly wild about taking their retirement money and playing the day trading casino to try to increase their performance.

It's better than what preceded it but we still manage retirement wealth poorly.

You could argue either way. This funnels retirement money into private pockets by forcing a listing at ridiculous valuations.
