When you manage a $1.5 trillion fund, even a tiny error can mean the difference of tens of millions of dollars. Someone mistakenly used November 1st instead of December 1st for the fund's benchmarking.

This led to the fund being slightly overweight on US fixed income versus international fixed income and led to a $92 million loss relative to what it should have been.
