It could mean that, or maybe the rich own most of those mutual funds too? Unfortunately the video links to a probably-AI-generated Medium article that references an article by The Atlantic that is from 2007 and about an unrelated topic and obviously isn’t the actual source for the 89% figure, so checking the actual numbers would require more work.
That doesn’t really answer the question of whether the 89% figure is misleading due to regular investors having stake in institutional investors though, as suggested by the comment above mine. This would require information on the proportion of those funds owned by wealthy people vs non wealthy. That said you’re clearly giving better info than the OP video so kudos for that
