We are proud to share that SBCERA’s Senior Investment Officer, Amit Thanki has recently been appointed to the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) Association Board as their Southern California Chapter Executive.

At its meeting on March 3, 2022, the SBCERA Board of Retirement voted unanimously to divest from Russian-related assets now and in the future. The Board took this action in response to Russia’s recent military invasion of Ukraine and directed staff to divest existing assets as soon as practicable and withhold future investments in Russian holdings until further notice. 

As we reflect on this last year, I am full of gratitude for our team here at SBCERA and for our partnership with all of you—our valued members and public servants who serve our San Bernardino communities.  There’s no doubt 2021 has continued to challenge all of us as we’ve navigated the pandemic for the second year in a row.  But I want to assure you that our commitment to your retirement security and to serving you has never wavered.

Ballots are on their way.  Here’s what you need to know.

The following three seats on the SBCERA Board of Retirement are open for election this year:

• General Member Trustee
• Safety Member Trustee
• Alternate Safety Member Trustee

Members—

Soon, you will be receiving an invitation by email to participate in our upcoming member engagement survey.  We wanted to share a little about the survey and why it’s important.
