California laundries money to CALPERS, that managed the largest public pension fund in the US with $179.2 billion in assets; as of December 2008. The more you pay state employees -and the more employees the state has- the more money the fund has. It is mechanism to reward a certain group in society. It worked until today. Now is going to face the unwinding. CalPERS From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) is an agency in the California executive branch that "manages pension and health benefits for more than 1.6 million California public employees, retirees, and their families"[1]. In fiscal year 2007-2008, $10.88 billion was paid in retirement benefits[2], and in calendar year 2009 it is estimated that over $5.7 billion will be paid in health benefits[3]. As of December 2008, CalPERS managed the largest public pension fund in the United States with $179.2 billion in assets; however, that represented a 31% decrease from the peak value of its assets of $260.6 billion in October 2007[4]. CalPERS is known for its shareholder activism; stocks placed on its "Focus List" may perform better than other stocks, which has given rise to the term "CalPERS effect"[5]. Outside the U.S., CalPERS has been called "a recognized global leader in the investment industry"[6], "one of America's most powerful shareholder bodies"[7], and "the most important public pension fund in the United States"[8].
