On The Record: CERN Pension Fund Switzerland, Théodore Economou, CEO
As an investor, I focus on managing risk as well as return. Going forward, simply beating the index will no longer be enough, and that is why they will have to focus on risk-management in portfolio construction. At the same time, I believe it is important to look at the long-term cycle, as there is value added in identifying long-term risks and trends.

I am not that optimistic for the mid-term future, and therefore our internal expected returns are quite low for the next three years.
