LACERS Leads Way in Premier Investment Strategies

LACERS is a leader in looking for new investment opportunities and innovative strategies that add value to its plan assets. Investment opportunities that focus on specific sectors of the economy perceived to be less efficient, and as a result, have the potential of generating higher risk-adjusted returns, are known as Specialized Investments. Such investments may include industries that target underserved communities, urban real estate initiatives, new technologies such as clean technology, or investments that take advantage of demographic opportunities, such as senior housing. 

All specialized investments are reviewed by both LACERS staff and consultants, undergo rigorous investment risk/return analysis, and must meet the investment standards for its asset class in order to be considered by the LACERS Board of Administration as a value-added asset opportunity.
