Investments

Overview

ACERA is among the nation’s 100 largest public pension funds.

Overview

Current Investment Portfolio

In order to keep investment risks as low as possible, ACERA invests in a diverse group of investments called “asset classes.” ACERA’s investment team, investment consultants, and the Board of Retirement together strategically determine the portions of the fund to allocate to the classes of assets in order to minimize risk while maximizing return.

Overview

How We Choose Managers

ACERA is a well-diversified public pension plan with a multi-billion dollar investment portfolio. Rather than making investments directly (which would require a massive in-house staff), like all pension funds, ACERA hires investment managers who are experts in particular types of asset classes to make the investments for us.

Overview

Investment Policies

ACERA has established investment policies as protocol to govern how we invest and manage our investments.
