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.

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.
