UN Pension Fund Members,
If you have received an Avaaz petition titled "Secretary-General Antonio Guterres: Don't hand our UN pension fund to Wall Street", see below message from Ian Richards, Vice President, Conditions of Service, CCISUA, dated 14 August 2026. Please disregard the petition.

Some of you will have seen this petition about the UN pension fund outsourcing investments
While it has gone viral in recent days, it dates from 2022 and the matter is now fortunately settled.
The petition was launched by the Coordinating Committee for International Staff Unions and Associations (CCISUA) in response to plans announced at the time to externalise the management of up to 75 percent of the fund’s fixed income portfolio.
Following the petition, a staff townhall and a number of letters from CCISUA, the fund reconsidered its position. As a result of this staff mobilisation less than 20 percent is currently outsourced.
Therefore if you receive the petition you can disregard it; the issue is moot."
