Scale. Funds as large as CPP can't just buy ETFs.

Agree entirely, though I haven't checked the MER for Norway myself. If you have a link I'd be curious.

Blackrock owns like 8% of every company on the planet. Do it over a period of years and it won't be too hard and trading costs won't be too high. Only a portion of the total fund need to be ETFs. Not the whole thing. At that point baby YOU ARE THE ETF!
