"They’re passing the torch. And the torch is being received by entities who care less about ideology and more about returns. BlackRock doesn’t care about “being your own bank.” They care about portfolio diversification and risk-adjusted returns. Is that a loss? In some ways, yes.

All these funds traded at Premia. At the top of the pyramid, the Goldman Sachs Trading Corporation traded at a premium to a premium to a premium to net asset value."
