Only certain pension funds have some of their assets in instruments that had a margin call because if this mess. Apparently this is very UK biased too, due to the type of pension.
One of the largest pension funds that have invested in LIT fund is a North American one - I seem to recall it was a teachers pension fund that has put money into both funds.
Pension funds understand their liabilities decades in advance based on members age , retirement age , mortality rates, this does allow them to tie up assets for a period of time (exactly what they do when buying 30 years bonds).
An LIT fund would be seen as higher risk for a pension fund as the sum invested isn’t guaranteed (bonds more or less are, property has historically been stable over the long term) and this is where their track record on returns is important.
