One response to “CalPERS’ role in tackling racism”

  1. William Michael Cunningham, AM, MBA

    We are in the pool of Non-Fiduciary advisors to CalPERS.

Despite increased concentration in EM indexes, new CIO Richard Brandweiner said it could lead to more alpha opportunities. Meanwhile, CEO Raphael Arndt said the time has come for a “fresh leader” to steer the fund as he prepares to close out a close to two-decade tenure with the $255 billion investor.
