World's Biggest Pension Funds have halted their investments in the U.S. until the country stabilizes

Some of the world’s biggest pension funds are halting or reassessing their private market investments into the US, saying they will not resume until the country stabilises after Donald Trump’s erratic policy blitz. The moves underscore how big institutional investors are rethinking their exposure to the world’s largest economy as the US president’s trade policy upends markets, adding pressure to America’s private capital industry, which is under increasing liquidity strain. Some top Canadian funds are backing away from taking on more US private assets because of geopolitical concerns and fears they will lose tax breaks on their American investments. Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, which has C$699bn ($504bn) in assets, is among those considering its approach. Meanwhile, one of Denmark’s biggest retirement funds has paused new investments in US private equity because of concerns over stability and Trump’s threats to take over Greenland, an executive at the fund told the Financial Times.
