As the largest educator-only pension fund in the world, with assets of $351.5 billion as of September 30, 2024, CalSTRS is a global leader in the investment industry. As a long-term investor, we benefit when the companies we invest in perform well over the long term. To encourage resilient companies and robust financial markets, we participate in investment industry events to develop meaningful relationships with companies and fellow investors, influence market participants and build expertise in emerging trends.

We attended these notable events in the fall of 2024:

• Council of Institutional Investors—The Council of Institutional Investors is an association of public, corporate and union pension funds with a duty to protect the retirement savings of millions of workers and their families. The association is a leading advocate for effective corporate governance, strong shareholder rights and sensible financial regulations that foster fair, vibrant capital markets.
• NYC Climate Week—New York City Climate Week is one of the world’s largest annual gatherings of business leaders, policymakers, investors, innovators and activists working to drive climate solutions and accelerate progress toward a sustainable economy.
• PRI in Person—The Principles for Responsible Investment is a United Nations-supported network of investment organizations that focuses on integrating sustainability considerations into the investment decision-making process. The network acts in the long-term interests of its participants, the financial markets in which they operate, and ultimately the environment and society as a whole.
