PROBLEMS CONTINUE AT THE UN PENSION FUND, November 2016
In the spring we briefed you on trouble at the top of the pension fund. Over a tumultuous summer,
matters only got worse.
“There’s a huge problem of competence in the functioning of the Fund and Board. We must stop pretending it is fine. When someone fails they should not be rated as successful, when people are not paid we should not pretend things are fine.”

TROUBLE AT THE UN PENSION FUND, April 2016
"Corporate infighting, allegations of management fraud, media leaks, pensions not being paid, a move towards risky investments, all capped by a seemingly pliant board. How did it all go wrong?
Once seen as a bastion of stability, the UN pension fund has rarely been out of the news these last two years, and for all the wrong reasons. We’ll try to shine some light on the malaise at the top of our pension fund and expose the power politics that could eventually tear it apart."
Heard a lot about derivatives when in 2008 and 2009 when they caused world wide devastation ,whole world's economy shrank and billions of dollars were lost. With derivatives risk is too large as compared to potential benefits. Past two years have been good for stocks and investing. Let us keep those gains and let not our over ambitious dreams take us to risky paths which we may not be able to handle.
