Canada Pension Chief Says Fund Can’t Avoid China Despite Higher Risk

The head of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board says exposure to China remains important to the fund’s overall strategy but understanding the nation’s economy, and its global importance, is crucial.

Chief Executive Officer John Graham made the comments in response to a question about what it would take for China to become “uninvestable,” during an interview with Bloomberg Television. Canada’s largest pension fund has almost 10% of its assets invested in China.
