You are clearly missing part of the equation. Why did these 1000 people bother to join in the pension fund? Why did they not invest individually and sidestep the fund's fee structure, etc.?,

A variety of reasons. A common one would be that they wanted a professional to invest their money.

Incivility and indiscipline can often do unquantifiable damage.

Perhaps, but hurt feelings and boorish behavior are not causes of action, nor should they be. You have no right not to be offended.

A common one would be that they wanted a professional to invest their money.

Yet it would have been prohibitively expensive for each of them to hire a professional.

I'm not talking about mere hurt feelings but broken homes and children betrayed by selfish parents as well.
