12,000 Visitors to Our Blog and Counting
As we prepared to pat ourselves on the back at having reached 10,000 visitors last week, things got a bit hectic and we were delayed. Since then, we've added 2,000 more visitors to PENSION RISK MATTERS (SM). Clearly, the topic of pension risk (and related issues) resonates with readers and for good reason. Changing accounting rules and regulations around the world mandate a focus on investment, operational and governance policies, procedures, strategies and lessons to be learned. Pension fiduciaries understand that they can be found liable on a professional and personal basis in the event of breach.
According to results from a survey co-sponsored by Pension Governance, the RiskMetrics Group and Ulysses Partners, seventy-seven percent of respondents said that they "feel that institutional investor fiduciaries are more vulnerable to being sued in the aftermath of recent corporate, government and non-profit scandals." (To view other results about external money managers, risk management, derivatives, governance and fees, see "Survey Shows That Institutional Investors Are Worried", July 28, 2006.)
