There is approximately 8% a year to gain from entering it. Just buy VTSAX.

What i actually meant was there is little to gain for individuals who aren't already relatively wealthy.
For those living at or below the poverty line, 8% of nothing is nothing.
It isn't until you get to those who can afford to lock up reasonable sums of money for multiple years to benefit practically from that 8%.
