It doesn’t appear that this guy was speaking on behalf of the pension fund, just personally, so really he isn’t an investor.
- maxxxxx 9y agoA lot of VCs aren't investors either by that definition.
- andrewjl 9y agoI don't know about that. Institutional investors have a raft of obligations to their clients, including not doing things like intentionally making their investment go down in value. This is a complicated topic, hence why securities law is a thing, but I wouldn't dismiss something an institutional investor says just because they're not speaking officially. It's still their career, investment track record, and client obligations on the line.
