Danish Pension Fund Akademiker Pension to Exit US Treasuries

Economic

Summary:

Danish pension fund AkademikerPension plans to sell all its US Treasury holdings by the end of January, citing credit risks associated with President Donald Trump’s policies.

"The US is basically not a good credit and long-term the US government finances are not sustainable," Anders Schelde, chief investment officer at AkademikerPension, told Bloomberg on Tuesday.

The fund, which manages approximately $25 billion in savings for teachers and academics, currently holds about $100 million in US Treasuries as of the end of 2025.

Schelde explained that risk and liquidity management had been the only reason to maintain Treasury positions, but "we decided that we can find alternative to that."

Among the factors driving the decision, Schelde mentioned Trump’s threats regarding Greenland. Additional concerns about fiscal discipline and dollar weakness also contributed to the fund’s decision to reduce US exposure.
