    Because its gate kept, particularly outside the US we don’t have any way to invest that doesn’t require some fee, so you need to be rich enough that your investment will make you more than the monthly fee to the broker. Then as a non cajillionare if the particular fund your invested in goes bust you get completely fucked over because debts are paid out to the largest creditors first.

      Well, not entirely true. I use broker that has no fees for cheapskate scum like me, only having brokerage fees for trading 100k € in a month.
