What does it mean to have a retirement trust fund?

If a retirement trust fund sounds too good to be true, then we’d love to earn your trust by explaining why we’re dedicating our lives to building Basic Capital, how it works, and what you can expect from us.

When Bill Ackman and Henry Kravis decided to invest in our company, they did so because they believed in our vision.

They agree with us that financial engineering can be a source of wealth generation for the masses. It's been a driver of wealth for the super rich, and our goal is to use it to help everyday people.

For many folks, the concept of getting an endowment to invest in the stock market ‑ $5 for every $1 dollar that you invest ‑ sounds too good to be true.

In a world filled with false promises, predatory lenders, crypto dreamers and schemers, and other dubious innovations, it’s completely reasonable to be skeptical.

So, over the course of a few quick posts, we’ll go over why we started Basic Capital, how it works, why lenders will give you money to invest, and how we make money.
