This is your daily pension announcement: Pandora's Box Edition!! That's right what is in the AIMCo portfolio? As you can see from the article below at one time they went long on migrant detention centers. #handsoffmypension #UNPRI

Now, as my regular followers will note, I am a fan of details with pensions. That is where the devilish bits are. Did you note where this info came from? As far as I can tell it was from a researcher employed by a newspaper who was reviewing regulatory findings.

Alberta teachers and superintendents are used of flipping open the ATRF Annual Report or the ATRF website and getting a really comprehensive list of investments that the fund has. #disclosure #fulldisclosure (some are not disclosed for competitive reasons, very rare)

Not so with AIMCo. No schedule of investments in their annual report. Nor in the LAPP, SFPP or PSPP annual reports. Hmm...that is odd. Disclosure of investments needs to be standard practice for funds in this day and age. Particularly for signatories of #UNPRI

I am very interested in the contents of AIMCO's private equity portfolio. My interest is as yet unconfirmed because AIMCO, well, does not disclose much.

(If anyone has a schedule of AIMCO investments please send it to me.)

Don't worry about me. I will dedicate myself to reviewing regulatory filings in a broad swath of jurisdictions to learn more and I will report back here.

Make no mistake: teachers will not put up with this. They will require quarterly disclosure on AIMCO's website.
