Here is some context for anyone else who is curious. A 1990 dollar is worth 1.84 dollars today because of inflation. There are about 3 times as many goods and services sold since 1990.(adjusted for inflation) [0] But real wealth has increased by 4.25x not adjusted for inflation[1]($20 trillion in 1990 to $85 trillion today) So it looks like there is 2.3x as much wealth, its valued 1.8x as highly, mutual funds manage a 2.7x larger share of net worth.(which is 18% of the household net-worth of $85 trillion) and hedge funds manage a 18x larger share of net worht.(which is 3.5% of house net-worth). It would also be interesting to see how much of this shift is due to larger amounts of wealth inequality. Specifically the wealthy have less of their net-worth in real estate, a larger share in the mutual funds, and astronomically larger share in hedge funds compared to the poor.
