    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

    TREASURY DEPARTMENT COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA HARRISBURG, PA 17120 March 8, 2018 .JOSEPH M. TORSELLA TREASURER Via Electronic Submission Chaitman Jay Clayton U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 First Street NE Washington, D.C. 20210 RE: Public Comments from Retail Investors and Other Interested Parties on Standards of Conduct for Investment Advisers and Broker-Dealers Dear Chairman Clayton: Thank you for your request for public input regarding the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) reassessment of the current regulatory framework governing retail investments. 1 As a bipartisan coalition of State Treasurers from across the country, we recognize the many financial perils facing individual investors, and endorsed the Department of Labor's Fiduciary Rule as a critical protection. We urge the SEC to develop a regulatory framework that will ensure that all financial professionals who offer advice on investments must hold their clients' interests first. We come from a diverse coalition of states and perspectives, yet we share a common underlying belief: individual investors must be protected. As the chief financial officers and the voice of financial leadership in our states, treasurers want people to save in the manner most appropriate for them, and we want those professionals that facilitate saving and investing to be fairly compensated for their sound advice. As this letter will present, the Fiduciary Rule has already improved the retirement savings market, but these improvements are threatened by the DOL' s partial delay of the Fiduciary Rule and could be undermined or undone by a weakened securities regulation by the SEC. Interest of State Treasurers As State Treasurers, we are on the front lines of the retirement crisis, and many of us are exploring policies and programs to encourage early retirement savings in an eff01t to help individuals achieve basic retirement security.

  • 2015 Request for Rule-Making to Require General Partners to Make Better Disclosure of Private Equity Expenses to Limited P
    Chair Mary Jo White Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, NE RECEPJED Washington, DC 20549 JUL 2 3 2015 RE: Standardized Private Equity Fee Disclosure OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY Dear Chair White: As state Treasurers and Comptrollers, we hereby urge the SEC to require general partners to make better disclosure of private equity expenses to limited partners. Private equity as an asset class plays a central role in public pension fund investment. The Private Equity Growth Capital Council estimates U.S. public pension funds invest 9.4 percent of their portfolios in private equity on a dollar-weighted basis. When comparing 10-year annualized returns, pension fund investments in private equity have outperformed other asset classes. Given the funding challenges facing so many public pension plans, strong returns continue to make private equity investments an attractive option for public pension systems. However, when compared to public asset classes, the cost structures of private equity are complicated. This complexity, combined with a lack of industry disclosure best practices, has led to an uneven playing field for state fiduciaries seeking to report private equity fees fully. Among the four types of private equity firm expenses-management fees, fund expenses, allocated incentive fees, and portfolio-company charges, a portion ofwhich serve as offsets or contra-expenses to limited partners-only directly billed management fees are easily segregable and therefore regularly disclosed. Though private equity firms generally disclose information on all types of fees, it is often reported deep in annual financial statements and is not reported directly to limited partners on a quarterly basis.

  • Joint Statement on Corporate Disability Inclusion
    JOINT INVESTOR STATEMENT ON CORPORATE DISABILITY INCLUSION As investors representing over $1 trillion in assets under management, we believe companies must do more to include people with disabilities in the workforce. We want our portfolio companies to create sustainable, long-term value; this requires a workforce with a wide range of viewpoints, skills, abilities and experiences. We believe, and research has demonstrated, that embracing equality, diversity, and inclusiveness is increasingly critical to the long-term success of corporations in the global marketplace. According to “Getting to Equal: The Disability Inclusion Advantage,” a 2018 report published by Accenture, Disability: IN, and the American Association of People with Disabilities, companies that embrace best practices for employing people with disabilities have outperformed their peers. This includes 28 percent higher revenue, double the net income, and 30 percent higher economic profit margins. Additionally, including people with disabilities increases innovation, improves productivity and fosters a better work environment. In spite of these benefits, Accenture estimates that 10.7 million people with disabilities continue to be underrepresented in corporate America, representing the large underutilized talent pool. Disability inclusion is a significant opportunity for companies to improve their performance, enhance labor-force diversity, and develop a sustainable corporate culture. As investors, we seek to encourage our portfolio companies to capitalize on the opportunities of disability inclusion. To start, companies should analyze their disability inclusion policies through a third-party benchmarking tool such as the Disability Equality Index (DEI). Tools like the DEI can provide companies a comprehensive assessment of their disability inclusion practices and identify opportunities to gain a competitive advantage by improving those practices.

  • Wednesday, February 22, 2017 Senator Mitch Mcconnell Senate
    Wednesday, February 22, 2017 Senator Mitch McConnell Senate Majority Leader 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Senator McConnell, Nearly 55 million workers across the country lack access to employer-sponsored retirement plans, and millions more fail to take full advantage of employer-supported plans. Without access to easy and affordable retirement savings options, far too many workers are on track to retire into poverty where they will depend on Social Security, state, and federal benefit programs for their most basic retirement needs. States across the country have been innovating to address this problem. We are writing to respectfully urge you to protect the rights of states and large municipalities to implement their own, unique approaches. Last week, two resolutions of disapproval (H.J. Res 66, H.J. Res 67) were introduced to repeal key Department of Labor (US DOL) rules. If passed, these resolutions would make it more difficult for states and municipalities to seek solutions to the growing retirement savings crisis. We ask that you support the role of states as policy innovators by voting “No” on H.J. Res 66 and H.J. Res 67. Thirty states and municipalities are in the process of implementing or exploring the establishment of state-facilitated, private-sector retirement programs. Eight states have passed legislation to allow individuals to save their own earnings for retirement (no employer funds are involved as these are not defined benefit plans). While most state and municipal plans will be governed by independent boards, the day-to-day investment management and recordkeeping would not be conducted by the state, but rather by private sector firms - the same financial institutions that currently provide retirement savings products.

We appreciate this opportunity to comment on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s proposals to amend the procedural requirements and resubmission thresholds for shareholders to file proposals for inclusion in corporate proxies and to impose certain requirements on independent proxy advisors. The Existing Federal Shareholder Proposal Process is Fair, Efficient and Working Well The ability of shareowners to file shareholder proposals is a fundamental investor right first established by the federal government in 1942 for reasons that remain vital today. State laws provide certain shareowner rights – including to receive certain information about company performance, to vote up or down on certain fundamental actions initiated by company management and the board of directors, and to assert claims in the aftermath of perceived wrongdoing.
