You are missing something. Where else would it go?
The returns do not matter. What matters is finding something.
Also it depends on share buybacks. If they mostly sell to shares buybacks, every sale actually prop up the price. Also uni endowment and charity funds keep growing with rules to never take money out, so they will be the one buying from pensions.
I highly expect stuff to stay bear until we actively work on it.

Buybacks made sense more sense in a low interest rate environment, but are riskier if they have to borrow to buy their stock back. > Also uni endowment and charity funds keep growing with rules to never take money out, so they will be the one buying from pensions. But again, is this amount as much as the amount that is to be sold, and at what price?
