The Washington State Investment Board was created in 1981 to “. . . exercise all the powers and
perform all duties prescribed by law with respect to the investment of public trust and retirement
funds.” The Board’s mandate is to establish investment policies and procedures designed to
maximize return at a prudent level of risk. Its mission is to invest with integrity, prudence and skill
to meet or exceed the financial objectives of those they serve.
Pursuant to state law (RCW 43.33A.160), the Board is funded from the earnings of the funds it
manages, proportional to the value of the assets of each fund, subject to a two-year appropriation
from the Legislature. The Board’s 2005-07 operating budget was approximately $16 million. At
the end of fiscal year 2006, the Board had approximately 63 employees stationed in Olympia.
The Board manages investments for 14 separate retirement funds for public employees,
teachers, school employees, law enforcement officers, firefighters and judges. They also
manage investments for 19 other public funds that support or benefit industrial insurance,
colleges and universities, developmental disabilities and wildlife protection. The total value of
assets under management is approximately $70.3 billion.
The Board has 15 members: 10 voting members and five non-voting members. Members of the
Board are fiduciaries whose mission is to manage investments for retirement and public trust
funds “with the highest standard of professional conduct for the exclusive benefit of fund
beneficiaries.” With the exception of the legislative and ex-officio members of the Board, Board
Members serve three-year terms. The Board has four committees to analyze investment issues:
Administrative Committee
This Committee is responsible for organizational, personnel, budget, legal and legislative issues,
as well as strategic asset allocation matters.
Audit Committee
This Committee oversees audit activities and operations, and nominates candidates for the nonvoting
positions on the Board. This committee also develops and monitors the Code of Conduct
for the Board, reviews performance reporting requirements, and addresses corporate governance
policies and issues.
Private Markets Committee
This Committee is responsible for development of policy and structure for private market
investments (real estate, venture capital, leveraged buyouts, and so forth). It also reviews real
estate and private equity investments for recommendation to the Board.
Public Markets Committee
This Committee is responsible for the development of policy and structure for public market
investments (fixed income, domestic equity, international equity) and reviews individual equity
managers for recommendation to the Board.
