Board Investment Policy

As a long-term investor, CalSTRS duty is to protect the fund assets through the pursuit of good government and operational accountability.

In addition to setting the standard for ourselves, we have called for greater transparency from our portfolio companies and we are committed to leading the way with comprehensive disclosure of our proxy votes. The addition of online disclosure opens the process to all CalSTRS portfolio companies.

The composition of corporate boards and their accountability—providing companies with a full range of talent and experience—have become high-profile issues, which the economic downturn has highlighted.
