We Hear You: PERA’s Investment Benchmarks

New video series answers your questions about PERA’s investment program.

How are investment performance goals set? How does PERA determine benchmarks for non-publicly traded assets like private equity and real estate? How have PERA’s investments performed over the long-term?

Questions like these are addressed in the newest edition of
the PERA “We Hear You” videos. These videos feature interviews with PERA’s
Chief Investment Officer as well as members of the investment staff answering
questions from PERA members.

The video program is designed to complement the extensive
information about these practices – everything from asset allocation
to performance metrics – available on PERA’s website and included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.

The PERA’s Investment benchmarks video covers how the PERA investment team works with the PERA Board of Trustees to establish performance targets and reviews the long-term goals of the investment program. Watch it below, on the copera.org website, or on PERA’s YouTube channel.

work we do for you.
