  • State Treasurers Urge More Drug Companies to Help Fight Opioid Epidemic
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: September 5, 2017 Paris Ervin 217.524.5749 Greg Rivara 312.814.1901 State Treasurers Urge More Drug Companies to Help Fight Opioid Epidemic Accountability Sought at Cardinal Health and AmerisourceBergen September 5, 2017 – Drug companies Cardinal Health and AmerisourceBergen must act to address the heroin and opioid epidemic or face potential financial consequences in their stock prices, state treasurers from Illinois, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and California said today. In letters sent to both companies, the coalition of state treasurers urged the nation’s second and third largest drug distributors to take concrete steps to alleviate the heroin and opioid epidemic. Should no action be taken, each treasurer’s office would re-evaluate its financial position in the companies and strongly encourage other institutional investors to do the same. This is the second wave of actions taken by treasurers seeking greater accountability at pharmaceutical companies in the wake of the nation’s spiraling opioid crisis. In July, treasurers from West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Illinois penned a letter to drug distributor McKesson Corp. asking the company to take specific steps to address the epidemic and protect shareholder value. Days later, McKesson announced it would split the roles of Board Chair and CEO, a move applauded by the treasurers and other investors seeking more oversight and accountability at the company. “Heroin addiction is tied directly to the overuse of opioid painkillers, and the overuse of opioid painkillers is tied directly to Big Pharma,” Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs said. “The industry needs to acknowledge its role in this crisis and take immediate action if we have any hope to save lives and stop this national crisis.” “The opioid epidemic has affected every community across Pennsylvania in some way, forever changing the landscape and the lives of our families, friends and neighbors,” Pennsylvania State Treasurer Joe Torsella said.

  • Vermont Treasurer, Others Call on SEC to Strengthen Disclosure of Private Equity Expenses to Limited Partners
    Wednesday, July 22, 2015 Vermont Treasurer, others call on SEC to strengthen disclosure of private equity expenses to limited partners Vermont Business Magazine. A coalition of State and City Treasurers and Comptrollers, including Vermont Treasurer Beth Pearce, sent a letter yesterday to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairwoman Mary Jo White asking the Commission to adopt new rules requiring greater transparency from private equity managers when disclosing fees and expenses to limited partners. The bipartisan group, which represents 13 public pension funds overseeing approximately $1 trillion in assets, asked the SEC to require the clear and consistent disclosure of fees and expenses which are often hidden in complicated, and even opaque, reporting systems. The letter also requested that the SEC require private equity firms to disclose information relating to fees and expenses quarterly, rather than on an annual basis, and called for an industry-wide standard for reporting. The letter notes that, of the four types of private equity firm expenses, only one – directly billed management fees – is regularly provided to investors. The other three – fund expenses, allocated incentive fees and portfolio-company charges – are often reported deep in annual financial statements, and only on an annual basis. The coalition’s goal is to compel private equity firms to provide consistent and comparable fee disclosures. Every stakeholder, from the SEC to institutional investors and those who set accounting standards, must play a constructive role in helping public pension funds meet their fiduciary obligations. However, the SEC is in the best position to take common-sense steps to standardize how fees are determined and disclosed.
