Excerpt:

I note with great emphasis: “We do not possess thorough look through ability.”

That’s the first time I’ve ever heard those confusing words. Here’s a translation:

  1. State pension fiduciaries have failed to demand that external investment managers disclose to the pension on a timely basis all investments, including but not limited to crypto, in their funds’ portfolios.
  2. State pension fiduciaries have failed to disclose to Oregonians information they don’t possess regarding the pension’s riskiest investments.
  3. State pension fiduciaries cannot be monitoring the risks related to crypto investments they do not know they own.

Bad enough that the Oregon State Treasury is gambling $60 billion in high-cost, high-risk alternative funds. State officials don’t know—and apparently don’t even care—what’s in those funds.
