I can read, thanks. That doesn't answer the question. How often do they raise the caps? What happened before 10 years ago?



If it was $5b in 2006 and $10b in 2016 then you can speculate how often they raise it. Your prediction that $1 million would turn into $4.5b, and the fact that the fund sits at $10b clearly indicates they distribute profits more than they raise the cap.


That wasn't my prediction, it was sixQuarks. All I'm saying is some percentage of the fund is left to compound.


No. So let's say it was $5b in 2006 and they were letting it compound. By 2016, at 35% interest compounding it would be worth over $100b. So by the simple fact that they raised the cap in 2016 to $10b (and the fund was not worth $100b) tells you that they are not letting it compound and as the article states, dividing the insane profits.
