From the moment they announced they were doing this fund, they were fully subscribed within 24 hours. This tells you there's a realization that's where wealth is being created, yet the retail investor does not have access to it. Take Fonds FTQ in Quebec, which basically does that. A big portion of what they invest is workers' dollars. They invest in alternative investments.
To your question, yes, there's a need to democratize it. It would be great to have RRSPs qualify for alternative investments under certain rules.
