OMERS sets example for U.S. pension fund

The California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS), which is the U.S.’s second-largest public pension plan, is looking to Canada’s own OMERS for advice, reports Bloomberg.

A spokesperson for the California fund told Bloomberg that following the OMERS model—in which investment officers are treated as employees of a corporation—may help give CalSTRS more flexibility to respond to fluctuating market conditions.
