With assistance from qualified professionals in the pension industry, the Board adopts regulations, policies, and procedures that are relevant to SCERS, to benefit the members. SCERS' investment staff assists the Board in overseeing the investment function within SCERS, including the development and implementation of Board-approved investment policies and the oversight of investment managers and investment consultants. The day-to-day administration of SCERS is delegated to the chief executive officer and a full-time staff of approximately 75 employees. SCERS' assets are carefully managed through a diversified long-term investment program, overseen by the Board of Retirement per SCERS' Master Investment Policy Statement . This policy establishes SCERS' investment objectives and defines the principal duties of the Board, SCERS' investment team, investment consultants, and investment managers. Investment decisions are made in the sole interest and for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits, minimizing employer contributions, and funding reasonable expenses for administering the system. SCERS' current net plan assets total approximately $15.7 billion as of December 31, 2025. Please refer to SCERS' Investment webpage for more information at scers.gov/investments-financials .
