Background The Office of Investment Management (OIM) is responsible for managing the investments of the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPF), a Fund fully established by the General Assembly of the United Nations. OIM works to ensure that the UNJSPF can fully discharge the obligation to provide retirement, death, disability' and related benefits to the over 205,000 active and retired staff of the United Nations and 23 other member organizations admitted to membership in the Fund. OIM strives to ensure that the assets of the Fund are managed prudently and optimally, as well as achieve the long-term investment return objective in order to ensure the financial sustainability of the Fund. The investment professionals of OIM, who come from over 30 countries, seek investment opportunities globally across a wide range of public and private market asset classes. The investments are spread over more than 100 countries, and 85% of the assets are managed internally. Investments must, at the time of initial review, meet the criteria of safety, profitability, liquidity and convertibility. OIM manages a multi-asset class, global investment portfolio worth approximately $70 billion. The Fund invests in various asset classes such as global public equities, bonds, real estates, private equities, infrastructure, timber and agricultural lands and cash and short-term securities. The Fund mitigates risks through diversification in asset classes, geographical regions/countries, currencies, sector/industry, securities, investment strategies, and market capitalizations. OIM's staff are currently all based in New York. Please consult OIM's website at https://oim.unjspf.org/ for additional information and a breakdown of the UNJSPF's assets.
