Your point in general that public pension funds have investigated in riskier assets over time is correct, but your claim that the 2008 crisis had any significant uptick after the 2008 crisis is quite simply false. Honestly, to make a claim like that and present no data to back it up is... unhelpful http://www.pewtrusts.org/~/media/Assets/2014/06/PensionInvestments06032014.pdf http://www.pewtrusts.org/~/media/Assets/2014/06/PensionInves... By far, the largest uptick in the shift from low risk bonds to higher risk assets like equities was in the 80s, but it's been happening longer than that. You could make a claim that there has been an increased shift to alternative assets since the crisis, but you didn't, and the uptick isn't massive anyway.
