So a hedge fund, will take your money and invest it all over the world and make you more money. Even with huge losses of potential profit in a collapse, they still profits.
ao here is an example, I know a hedge fund analyst, he works for a firm, that for a £250 million buy in, you make 40% a year on your money. The percentage is bases on how the shares they are in per month and on average a year, they do 40%.
so if you have big money, you stick it in a hedge fund for ten years and become super rich.
The society had a couple of billion at least, in early 2000's. We know they are classed as 'institutional investors' in the major hedge funds as they pay thousands to send representatives to global hedge fund conferences, e.g. Hedge fund intelligence in London.
Because of compund interest, if they put 250 million in, they make 100 million in year one, so now in year two they have 350 million , again at 40% they now make £140 million in that year so by year three they have half a billion! This is how the 'one percenters' are becoming so filthy rich, it isnt a secret, you just need a huge 'buy in'.
The socirty have long been involved in these now, they also have been selling everything, I have said already, I believe they are selling to have access to the liquid assets, so they can put it all into these funds, to make even more. The more you put in the more that 40% represents. They have just sold nearly 4 billiion pounds woth of property in the last 2 years in new york alone, according to the new york eagle.
I sincerely think that WT will be financial mammoths very soon, already richer than some small countries, they will soon have real financial power and therefore real world power. Just by moving their money around, they could affect economies. I know this sounds very unrealistic, but they were in the top 30 NY corporations 15 years ago, I think they will be heavy hitters very soon.
what they will do with that power, what they will do with their religious responsibilities I have no idea. I believe most of the WT assets have the clause that if the watchtower is to end as a corporation the FDS alone have the right to assign the assets to another business/holder.
I see them slowing down their religious activity hugely and doing massive spending cuts at the expense of their teaching and ministry work. For me the motives have already started to have more of an economical priority than a witnessing one, I think it is the thin edge of the wedge.
They are building a compund in the middle of the countryside, out of the way. That doesn't reassure me about their future motives. Even as an exJW, I would still hate to see them walk away with a financial sack of gold, nonchelant to the interest of their followers. I would rsther people leave feeling spiritually duped, which is regretsble enough, but to be so obviously robbed too, may be too much for many.
