The $315 billion CalSTRS is looking to build a top-down portfolio function to better incorporate liquidity management alongside portfolio construction and to consider how it can better deal with often lumpy cashflows to maximise returns, while continuing to keep a tight rein on risk.
In a fireside chat at Conexus Financial’s Sustainability in Practice forum, CPP Investments' managing director Derek Walker discussed incorporating climate risk into a total portfolio approach, and making a “pathway agnostic” commitment to net zero carbon emissions.
HESTA's CIO Sonya Sawtell-Rickson and Willis Towers Watson’s Roger Urwin are guiding a transformation at the fund, including adopting a total portfolio approach and planning an innovation lab.
