A Northeastern pension plan has hired a new investment advisor, replacing an incumbent it has been working with since 2006.

While retail investors and institutional investors often have different motivations, the average investor can learn a lot from what the giants do.

At the $79.4 billion United Nations pension fund, continuing tensions came to a head this month when the UN participant representatives to the pension board — elected representatives of 85,000 active UN staff members — wrote on December 2 to the General Assembly body that oversees the fund about their concerns on a range of issues regarding the fund’s administration and governance.

The plan hopes to increase equity exposure without significant volatility.
