Said another way, returns ALWAYS have to be risk adjusted. Sure they could _probably_ make more in Equities, but their approach is returns with zero risk, which is impossible to beat.


Depends if the purchasing power of the currency holds up. Real returns are what matter, and earning 3% “risk free” is not so “risk free” if the price of things you want to buy increase by more than 3%, etc.


Skimming 3% on OPM is still a pretty, pretty good business.


Well, fortunately for them we are talking about amounts of money where inflation is irrelevant.
