SBCERA recently hosted our 2024 Investment Forum in Lake Arrowhead, CA continuing our annual tradition of 20+ plus years! At its core, this forum supports the bottom line of why we’re here—to provide retirement security to our members and their beneficiaries now and well into the future. Our Chief Investment Officer, Donald Pierce and the Investment Team arranged an incredible line up of speakers comprised of partners and industry experts who shared top-level investment insights and strategies, portfolio performance, and future market trends. The forum also included a panel featuring SBCERA's Senior Investment Officers who shared their approach to investments and how they work together to ensure SBCERA’s strategic priorities and commitment to those we serve is prioritized and maintained. Thank you to all who joined us, and we look forward to next year!
