Pension-Fund Kitty

The men who manage pension and trust funds for workers have a prime problem. How can they invest the $2,500,000,000 to $3 billion that is pouring into the funds each year?

He persuaded two pension funds to pool part of their cash with his organization and form a real-estate buying group with capital of $140 million.

Last week Sachar announced that four more funds had joined his group, pushing its total purchasing power to $250 million.
