The Oregon Investment Council has adopted new long-term asset allocation targets for the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund.

This decision marks a significant milestone, concluding a multi-year process to evaluate the pension fund’s investment strategy, risk profile, and long-term obligations of the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) while setting the course for future management of the fund.

These targets are forecasted to generate a 7.3% rate of return over the next 4 years, which keeps Oregon on track to eliminate its unfunded pension liability by 2036.

Tariffs are hitting the small businesses behind Oregon’s wine and craft beer industries hard.

Treasurer Steiner is calling for the federal administration to repeal the tariffs and support economic policy that promotes small business development and job creation instead of weakening it.

Treasurer Steiner is calling on the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to maintain corporate demographic reporting requirements that have been a bedrock of deterring discrimination in the workplace for more than 50 years.

Treasurer Steiner said, “Diversity in the workplace is good for business and good for America. Companies that embrace differences in employee backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives have more capacity to innovate, reach new customers, and create value than companies that discriminate and foster cultures stifled by sameness. Once again, the federal government is weakening the foundations of American competitiveness with this attack on anti-discrimination protection.”
