Dear Member Associations,

Like you, I have received many questions in recent days.  Please be assured that especially during uncertain geopolitical times, your FAFICS delegates are doing their due diligence vis-a-vis our Pension Fund.  I urge you to read the Fund’s statement on the solvency and sustainability of the Fund (13 March https://www.unjspf.org/newsroom/qa-on-the-solvency-and-sustainability-of-the-fund/) and to attend the UNJSPF Virtual Annual Global Townhall on 9 April,  starting at 10:00 New York time (https://webtv.un.org/en/internal/asset/k1x/k1xs2mm54h with an option to listen to French interpretation).

Our Pension Fund is a long-term fund, with very diversified investment portfolio.

 If you have any questions about these topics, please feel free to send them to me.

Thank you and I hope to see you at our Council and 50^th Anniversary celebration in Vienna.

Jerry Barton, 

FAFICS President
