    I’m European and even I’m part of the American institutional investor class.

    Retirement funds in stock based ETFs = everyone is part of these large insitutional funds. Until my requested change taked place, my fund mostly holds Blackrock (iShares) run ETFs and a few other American ones. Soon it’ll be Xtrackers and a few other European ones with no US specific fund, but I’m not rich so this is a drop in the sea.

      Lol, you are not part of the American institutional investor class. You invest through an American fund.

      Those are not the same thing.

      But even granting you this fantasy, it would still be in Europe’s best interest that European retail investors invest through European funds instead of American ones.
