Danish Pension Fund to Exit U.S. Treasuries by End of January Over Greenland Tensions

The fund says political risk from the Greenland dispute prompted the move.

Overview

AkademikerPension plans to sell its U.S. Treasury holdings by late January 2026, according to comments reported by Bloomberg.
Chief investment officer Anders Schelde linked the decision to President Donald Trump’s statements about acquiring Greenland and related tariff threats.
As of the end of 2025, the fund held about $100 million in U.S. Treasuries that it now intends to dispose of.
Schelde cited worries about U.S. fiscal discipline, a weakening dollar, and a poor credit outlook as additional reasons to reduce exposure.
AkademikerPension manages roughly $25 billion for Danish teachers, and while the sale is small in market terms it underscores how geopolitical risks can influence institutional portfolios.
