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. As we stated in filings to the fund last year, “We note that CalPERS will find it difficult and costly to deliver benefits promised in markets riven by a lack of ethics, and in a society with growing racially targeted violence, environmental degradation and extreme social instability.” Also see: Black communities need more help from Fed https://www.americanbanker.com/opinion/black-communities-need-more-help-from-fed

Future Fund sees EM shifts widening alpha opportunities; CEO to depart

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.

Canadians more complex than first glance

The Canadian model, revered world over for its supreme pension management, is not low cost despite that being one of its oft-described traits. New research by CEM Benchmarking and McGill University shows that these funds are cost efficient, rather than being low cost. Their aim is to be high net performers, not low cost.
