Created in 1981 by the Washington State Legislature, we are a small agency with a staff of 61
employees who work in either of two divisions- Investments and Operations. The Board was created under
Chapter 43.33A of Washington State Law.
The WSIB's executive director is appointed by the Board to oversee the staff, develop and recommend
agency and investment policies for Board adoption, and ensure adherence to state policies and laws.
The WSIB organization is structured similar to most investment management organizations, with a board and executive committee providing firm wide leadership; and major operating units for
investment management, operations and risk control, financial management and administration, and public affairs or client services.
The Investment Division is comprised of investment professionals making and managing investments in four major asset classes; public equity, private equity, real estate and fixed
income. The division is also served by a senior investment officer who develops asset allocation and risk budgeting strategies and a research director that provides research and analytic
support. The division deploys both internal and external investment management strategies.
The Operations Division provides a number of services in support of the investment function, including trade settlement, cash management, private market funding, cash and stock
distributions and foreign and domestic tax matters and investment compliance monitoring. It provides firm-wide risk management, information systems management, human resource and
administrative services.
The Public Affairs Division handles duties typically found in a client services division of an investment management firm, including performance reporting, annual report preparation,
corporate governance and constituent communications. In addition, it handles functions unique to a public pension fund, including legislative affairs, public disclosure and media. |
