NEW YORK, March 25 (Reuters) - New York state's comptroller on Friday ordered the state's public pension fund to divest from Russian companies, and continued his prohibition of further investments in them.
In a statement, Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said securities covered by the divestment would be sold in a "prudent manner and timeframe," consistent with his fiduciary duty.
