So what? As an LP, they made the choice to let someone else actively manage their money. Part of the risk/reward trade-off when using VC as an investment vehicle.

I am just pointing out who is losing the money. The fact that a large amount of this money is coming from pension funds trying to hit totally unrealistic returns in a zero interest environment is just an unfortunately coincidence.
