I think it's just sampling bias? OTPP is one of the world's largest institutional investors, quarter trillion under management. Their investment into FTX represents like... 0.002% of available capital. https://www.otpp.com/en-ca/investments/our-investments/teachers-venture-growth/ https://www.otpp.com/en-ca/investments/our-investments/teach... (EDIT: 0.2% not 0.002%)

Show your work on the 0.002% calculation?

  "$400M" / "a quarter trillion" = 0.002, or 0.2%. They probably messed up on the percentage translation?

Sorry!

How does one determine that 250bn is "one of the world's largest?" I just looked up a top 50 list and the lowest on the list is 333bn.
