 PROFILE
You don't need calipers to measure CalPERS, the California Public Employees' Retirement System. It's the largest public pension system in the US, with more than $150 billion in assets. Serving nearly 2,500 government agencies, CalPERS manages retirement and health plans for more than a million California employees and retirees and their dependants. An active investor, CalPERS has become a voice to reckon with in the world of corporate governance, focusing on company performance, executive compensation and, occasionally, social issues. CalPERS is a recognized trendsetter in negotiating for such services as insurance; rates established by CalPERS often serve as benchmarks for other employers.
