If your pension fund can't handle an investment potentially becoming worthless you deserve to lose all your money. If you decide to take the risk on any investment, you get the rewards when things go right but face the consequences if the investment doesn't pan out. There's no need for taxpayers to be involved in this process even if the people losing money are teachers, orphans, veterans, or grandmas.
