Oct 28, 2014 at 5:47 comment added user35593 I think you are right about your conjecture. Maybe its best to consider spaces of strictly negative curvature and CAT(0) spaces separately.
Oct 28, 2014 at 5:42 comment added user35593 Yes but then $f(0)=0$. I stated the conjecture that if $f>0$ then $f$ is constant or strictly convex.

Oct 27, 2014 at 23:14 comment added Teri If you consider the lines $\gamma_1(t)=(t,0)$ and $\gamma_2(t)=(t,t)$ in the plane (which is a CAT(0) space) you see that your function $f$ equals $f(t)=t$ which is not strictly convex. I guess for strict convexity you need strictly negative curvature.
