What @gurgavin misses is that there wasn't an option in 1950 to invest $8,000 in the market. The buyer had a down payment, but had to finance the remaining portion of the home. Their $1,600 down payment invested in the market would have grown to $3.3 million -- better than the…

People across levels of financial sophistication have deduced that leverage is required to build wealth in markets. The problem: They keep using blunt instruments that create heads-i-win-tails-you-lose outcomes. Gift Link: wsj.com/finance/stocks…
IN NEWS: Basic Capital raises $25M Series A (led by @ForerunnerVC & @Lux_Capital). Co-Founder & CEO @Abude_al_asaad frames their product as long-duration, mortgage-style financing for retirement investing. “Credit is a tool… it can be used in a good way or in a bad way.” The…
“America is not Japan. America is not Europe” - @Abude_al_asaad the nightmare scenario would be long term US financial asset stagnation - a la 1990’s Japan - but outlier companies will continue to list in the US
Proud to advocate for 401(k) innovation and President Trump's order opening private markets to everyday Americans! Our Series A, led by @ForerunnerVC & @Lux_Capital validates our mission to tackle the retirement crisis by making workers owners of the economy they're building

Basic Capital lets workers use private credit to leverage their 401(k) plans, and it just raised $25 million axios.com/2025/08/18/bas…

None of this happened by accident. It’s the result of policy failure and the private sector's poverty of imagination to build effective solutions for the middle class. At @getbasiccapital, we’re fundamentally reimagining and reinventing the 401(k) for employers and employees.
By retirement age, many Gen Xers will be looking at: • A 401(k) that’s hundreds of thousands short • Heavy reliance on Social Security • Gig work or delayed retirement
That formula no longer holds: • Social Security remains vital, but it’s underfunded • Pensions have disappeared • 40% of Americans can’t cover basic expenses This isn’t just a problem at the margins; the middle class feels it too.
Back in the 1940s Reinhard Hohaus, an actuary at Metropolitan Life, gave us the “three-legged stool” of retirement: • Social Security • An employer pension • Personal savings Today, the legs are gone. Most people are sitting on the floor. 🧵
For decades, there was an unspoken truce between employers and workers: You give the company your best years, and they ensure you can retire with security. Then the deal changed. 🧵
But there has to be a way for employers to show up for their workers without breaking the balance sheet. That’s what we’re building at @getbasiccapital.
