I've figured it out! (I say mockingly) Suppose I tell you I manage a fund worth $100M where I can absolutely guarantee that you will earn 12% a year. Interested? Doing the math, I see that my fund will -- on paper -- "only" be managing $1B a year assuming a 12% compounded return. No red flags there since that's not a big number especially if people think I'm legit. The key element here is that, because I am using new money to pay out the interest, I can NOT grow too fast. Hence, I claim I am exclusive. Again, no red flags. From that point forward it's just a matter of figuring out what I need to cover the outflow and what I need to fund my lifestyle. - Jeff
