Something like what you say. Somehow freeing up additional funds by offering loans at below market interest.

Very true. Whenever people start complaining about greedy shareholders and particularly with regard to the utility companies, I remind them that they are almost certainly taking the profits too into their pension funds. Are they going to call up the fund holders and tell them they will accept a lower pension as they don’t want those profits in their pension fund? I have never had anyone say they will yet.

I don’t think that negates the people who care enough to actually do that. Furthermore, it’s quite easy to overlook the fact that the whole system structurally reinforces inequality, since the compensation for the fund managers and executives constitutes a higher proportion compared to what any individual receives in their pension.
In any case, with regards to the utility companies, they’re only doing what the government permits them to do.
