The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) today is hosting a workshop on private equity, following a series of related controversies and changes to the public pension giant’s investment strategy.
CalPERS has long been one of the world’s largest private equity investors, representing 2.8% of all committed capital back in 2007. It has since scaled way back — its 1.4% mark for the first half of 2015 is actually a 5-year high — but still was the seventh-largest global investor in the asset class between 2010 and 2014, according to materials presented during today’s workshop.
The largest private equity investor during that time-frame, per the CalPERS data, was the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. What follows is the full chart, excluding sovereign wealth funds for which there is not publicly-available data.
