Summary:

Studies show that 90% of institutional investors, such as pension funds, reach their investment goals. However, only 11% of individual investors achieve their goals. Over the past twenty years we have witnessed both the greatest bull market of all time and one of the most devastating crashes in history. During this period, pension funds posted returns of more than double those realized by individual investors. At the same time, the institutional pensions were exposed to less than half of the risk and volatility that individual investors were forced to endure.
