Yes I suppose the second paragraph is more correct. I was suggesting that the 22% on average does not necessarily indicate that an individual investor is doing great investing.
On that note, just a passing idea, seeing as the 1000 companies do make great return, way above equities, then perhaps there should be some hedge fund or whatever, so a bit like investment managers. Basically anyone can give to the fund however much money they want, the fund is run by some professional experienced people who then use the money to invest in start ups or new businesses. That way, if the fund is big enough, you are much more likely to get 22% return, which compared to equities is really good and of course it greatly serves the economy and enterprenours, so basically everyone.
Is there actually such a thing?
- pmjordan 16y agoVenture capital works that way, and many venture capital funds have early-stage investment branches. In a way, Y Combinator might even fall within this definition, as they actually re-invest money raised from VC funds. I don't know how long you have to leave your money in a hedge fund, but I suspect VC is longer term at around 10 years. This isn't a direct scaling of angel funding though, as I get the impression that the relationship between startup and angel is much less formal than to VCs. Take all of the above with a grain of salt, as I've never received any sort of 3rd party investment, so I don't speak from experience.
