Does your pension fund contribute to a more sustainable world? CalSTRS does and has been since the 1970s/80s. To lead this conversation is the very first pension fund guest for SRI 360°, Chris Ailman, one of the world's most recognized and respected Chief Investment Officers. Multiple award winner, Chris currently acts as CIO of CalSTRS, managing its $311.5 billion portfolio, making it the second-largest pension fund in the United States and the largest educational pension fund in the world.With over 39 years of expertise in institutional investment, Chris has become a thought leader in incorporating ESG criteria into his long-term, “patient” capital investing approach.His journey began with an early fascination with the stock market, leading him from the role of registered rep at Dean Witter to becoming a certified financial planner from USC. His interest in institutional investment carried him through pivotal roles, from Sacramento's county retirement system to the Washington State Investment Board, before landing at CalSTRS in 2000. Chris has not only placed CalSTRS as a beacon of sustainable investing but has also been recognized globally for his innovative investment approach. He's also the mind behind the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, the chair of the 300 Club, and co-chair of the Milken Global Capital Markets Committee.In this episode, Chris and I reflect on the evolution of ESG investing and its critical role in shaping our planet's future. His narrative is not just about investment; it's a testament to his belief in the power of long-term investing and the need for a sustainable approach to wealth management.We also explore the challenges of integrating ESG into traditional investment frameworks, the importance of shareholder engagement and corporate governance, and the future of sustainable investing.

Christopher Ailman (@CJAtheCIO), Chief Investment Officer at CalSTRS, joins Olga Serhiyevich on this episode. Highlights: - CalSTRS, the California State Teachers' Retirement System, was created in 1913 and is actually older than Social Security. It has over 400 members who are over 100 years old who are still receiving their pension.- Chris says no bear market is alike and that the key is to have the discipline during that time period to actually start buying.- Chris says the key to success as an investor is in being intentional about the culture you create. When Chris is evaluating a portfolio manager he likes to and sit on the floor with the employees and see what the vibe is like.- A lot of investors take a lot of econ and business classes but should take more psychology classes to deal with the human side of things (vs. the numbers side). He says that selecting portfolio managers is much more difficult than picking stocks.- Chris says that the energy transition will dwarf all trends over the next fifteen years. He says that by 2035 parts of the earth will start to become uninhabitable and there will be mass migrations to other areas.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.Check us out on the web at villageglobal.vc or get in touch with us on Twitter @villageglobal.

Most agree that healthy investment committee governance is table stakes for meeting investment outcomes over the long term and yet, it is probably the least discussed element of the investment management value chain. Why is the pursuit of governance excellence often ignored? Are there models of separation of duties between board and staff that we should be aiming for? Can strong governance actually improve or juice investment returns? Is it a source of alpha that is largely unharvested? Episode Sources

73: PERSI's Bob Maynard – Retirement and Reflections on Career

In this episode of the [i3] Podcast, we speak with Bob Maynard, Chief Investment Officer of the Public Employees Retirement System of Idaho (PERSI) at the eve of his retirement, after 30 years with the fund. We look back at how a job as the deputy attorney of Alaska saw him getting involved with investing and how he has stuck to his mantra of keeping it simple. “Whenever I get a bright idea, I go to a dark room and lay down until it has passed,” he quips. Bob addresses whether defined benefit systems are doomed, expels myths around US pension funds underfundedness and why he believes CalSTRS' Chris Ailman is the best CIO on the planet. 1:00 Moving to Alaska at a time when it was still a frontier state; the state was only 19 years old 6:00 Working on some of the largest oil and gas litigation cases in US history, including the Trans Alaska Pipeline case 9:00 The Alaska Permanent Fund and the link with oil and gas litigation 11:00 Slowly the fund moved away from just bonds to include real estate. So I couldn't afford my own house, but I knew how to buy an office block in New York. 12:00 Setting up the first currency program with the help of Fischer Black 13:30 Phone calls with Fischer Black locked you into a way of thinking about markets and I probably used that more than anything over the last 30 years. 15:00 [At PERSI] we only do eight to 10 things [in our investment strategy], but if I would be doing 25 things then currency would be in there. 16:00 The mean variance model is not that complicated 17:30 Joining PERSI you found a fund that was more than 60 per cent underfunded. Did you know that? 19:30 “The chair said: ‘Just get us in the middle of the pack', and I thought: ‘I can do that; I can be mediocre” 22:00 There are a thousand ways to invest. You just have to find the right way for your particular set of circumstances. 26:00 The 90s were a great time to be a 70/30 fund. 27:00 The best place to be in the last 10 years was the S&P 500 [index] 28:30 [Institutional investors] are not long term investors; we use it as propaganda to get us through tough times. 31:00 There are times in history where there is a fundamental shift in equity markets, but whether that means you should move out of equity markets…There have been a number of those [approaches] since the 1990s that looked at that and none of them have proven to be able to move through troubled times. 32:00 When there is excess liquidity in the system, all sorts of things work 36:30 The idea of what an unfunded liability is is completely misunderstood. Under an entry age normal accounting system we assume that people are going to earn double of what they earn today at the end of their career. If we would shut off the system today and look at the actual liabilities then we would be 140 - 150 per cent funded. 38:00 There are funds that are in trouble, but that is because some of them cut their contribution rate to below cost 45:00 Investing is about attitude: whenever I get a bright idea, I go to a dark room and lay down until it has passed 47:00 Listening and learning from other state pension funds' board meetings. I've learned more from listening to [Chris] Ailman than from my own fund; he is the best CIO in the world as far as I'm concerned. 50:00 You retire on 30 September 2022. Any plans? “I'm going to do what I do best: nothing”.

After yet another year of record temperatures and extreme weather events, there’s more and more discussion about how we can fight climate change and get to a net zero future – an economy that emits no more carbon dioxide than it removes from the atmosphere by 2050. But what does this transition look like in practice?On the second episode of a five-part mini-series on megatrends, Chris Ailman, Chief Investment Officer of the California State Teachers’ Retirement System, and Salim Ramji, Global Head of iShares and Index Investments for BlackRock, share their perspective. They discuss why divesting is not enough to achieve net zero, what companies need to do to shift their business models, and why the low-carbon transition presents a potential investment opportunity.This material is for informational purposes and is prepared by BlackRock, is not intended to be relied upon as a forecast, research or investment advice, and is not a recommendation, offer or solicitation to buy or sell any securities or to adopt any investment strategy.
