The four-pronged initiative calls on the State’s two large public pension funds – the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) and the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) – to marry the jet stream of finance and capital markets with public purpose by committing $1.5 billion to investments in cutting-edge technologies and environmentally responsible companies. The goal of the initiative is to improve long-term financial returns for pensioners and taxpayers through investments in the burgeoning environmental technology sector, while also reducing the risks to the pension funds posed by corporate environmental liabilities. “Now is the time for California to catch the ‘Green Wave’ of smart, environmental investments and responsible corporate environmental leadership,” Angelides – who sits on the boards of both CalPERS and CalSTRS – said at a news conference here at Nanosolar

  • California State Teachers' Retirement System Investment Reports As of June 30, 2020 Introduction
    California State Teachers' Retirement System Investment Reports As of June 30, 2020 Introduction The California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) is required to report to the Legislature on specific areas regarding the system's actions as they relate to particular investments and holdings. This report is submitted in compliance with the direction of the following statutes: • Chapter 441, Statutes of 2011 (AB 1151-Feurer) - Iran • Chapter 671, Statutes of 2007 (AB 221-Anderson) - Iran • Chapter 442, Statutes of 2006 (AB 2941-Koretz) - Sudan • Chapter 341, Statutes of 1999 (SB 105-Burton) - Northern Ireland Background CalSTRS With over 100 years of experience and over $246 billion of assets under management, CalSTRS is the oldest and largest educator-only pension system in the world. CalSTRS members include California public school educators, pre-kindergarten through community college. CalSTRS members are employed by approximately 1,700 school districts, community college districts, county offices of education, regional occupational programs and charter schools. CalSTRS is administered by the 12-member Teachers’ Retirement Board (board). The board sets the policies and is responsible for ensuring that benefits are paid by the system in accordance with the law. One of the board’s core values is to ensure the retirement system's strength by proactively addressing the risks of investing. This value permeates the investment portfolio, where the board has adopted the Investment Policy for Mitigating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Risks. The policy requires managers to consider multiple risk factors when investing for CalSTRS. A copy of the policy is included in Attachment A. In early 2020, CalSTRS performed an extensive analysis of its reporting requirements and staff workload.

    The investment industry THE CHANGING is in a period of change, and nowhere is this better TIDE: THE demonstrated than in the experience of asset owners.

THE CHANGING TIDE: THE EVOLUTION OF THE ASSET OWNER INVESTMENT MODEL THE CHANGING TIDE: THE EVOLUTION OF THE ASSET OWNER INVESTMENT MODEL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The investment industry is in flux. The rise in costs, new 1 technology, global regulatory change and a drive toward fund consolidation have led many asset owners to look more closely at their organisational structures and to rethink their investment processes. Across the globe, investors are bringing their asset management in-house in order to reduce fees, enhance control, gain efficiencies and drive overall investment performance. For asset owners that manage their assets internally, 2 or want to do so in the future, there are several considerations to take into account. These range from setting up and implementing governance structures, to finding and recruiting the right talent, to managing technology needs, and getting to grips with new operational models. Asset owners are tackling these challenges in different 3 ways. Each asset owner is in a unique situation, but the trend toward in-house management is truly a global one. Concerns about future-proofing operating models 4 can be a barrier to in-house management. As the investment insourcing trend develops, asset owners are increasingly outsourcing non-core functions to focus on the activities that add the most value.
