Managers

The IPERS Investment Board, with advice from its investment consultants and the IPERS staff, adopts investment policy and approves plans to implement the policy. These plans include contracting with various investment management firms.

Investment managers are selected through competitive hiring processes. The investment managers are given full discretion to manage IPERS’ investment account, within the terms of their contracts and applicable federal and state laws. IPERS' investment staff and consultants provide ongoing oversight of the investment managers and periodically report to the Investment Board on the managers’ performance.

The table lists IPERS' investment managers according to investment type.
