EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This agenda item seeks approval to submit the annual Holocaust Era and Northern Ireland reporting to the California Legislature and forward letters to companies identified as having unresolved claims or are not adhering to the MacBride Principles of Nondiscrimination. STRATEGIC PLAN This agenda item supports statutory requirements and does not directly support the CalPERS Strategic Plan. INVESTMENT BELIEFS This agenda item supports statutory requirements and does not directly support the CalPERS Investment Beliefs. BACKGROUND In 1999 the California Legislature enacted a statute (SB 1245, Chapter 216) that requires CalPERS to monitor and annually report on investment holdings in companies that do business in California and that owe compensation to victims of slave or forced labor during World War II. The Holocaust Era Holdings Report is provided as Attachment 1. CalPERS is also required to investigate and report to the Legislature (SB 105, Chapter 341) on whether any corporations operating in Northern Ireland, in which assets of CalPERS are invested, are not in compliance with laws applicable in Northern Ireland. These laws in particular, adhere to the MacBride Principles of Nondiscrimination in employment and freedom of workplace opportunities. The Northern Ireland Holdings Report is provided as Attachment 2. Agenda Item 4b Investment Committee February 18, 2014 Page 2 of 3 ANALYSIS The 2013 MSCI Holocaust Era report (Attachment 3) identifies two CalPERS holdings in companies that are facing lawsuits in Japan or China over the use of forced or slave labor during World War II.

However, to achieve their potential and attract and delight new customers it is essential to modernise and make the most of new technologies and insights. The internet, rather than hurting a business-like Stanley Gibbons, in fact does the opposite. It allows a unique single iconic location in London to reach a worldwide audience inexpensively, and for a business so rich in intellectual property and knowledge, to offer an engaging and immersive experience tailored to the interest of the customer. The building blocks for a great business are there in terms of the brand, heritage, reputation and capability. We look forward to updating you in the coming years on their progress. The following is taken from Gary Channon's latest 02 report to investors in the Phoenix UK Fund: We invest by making business and stock specific decisions, one by one, whilst paying attention to the overall risk profile of the portfolio. Some think this means that our decisions therefore contain no macro-economic element, however this is not possible. All our businesses operate within the overall economy The expected future cashflows of a business will exist in a macro-economic context and we recognise that when we build models and derive valuations.
