2 Mission PRIM is a $62 billion investment fund that invests public employee pension benefits. PRIM does not administer benefits. PRIM has a highly talented, experienced and focused investment staff. PRIM s Mission is to relieve the pension funding burden by the taxpayer. PRIM is a self-funded agency that generates asset returns for Massachusetts. In the past five years, PRIM s returns have contributed approximately $29 billion to pension funding. The Project SAVE initiative is producing more than $100+ million in annual value for the fund. PRIM is independent and governed by a nine member Board of Trustees. The Massachusetts State Treasurer is the Chair of the PRIM Board. A robust committee structure lends advice and recommends investments. 2

3 History The PRIT Fund was created by the Legislature in December 1983 (Chapter 661 of the Acts 1983). M.G.L Chapter 32, Section 23. Governed by By-Laws (1993) and Operating Trust (1998). The PRIT Fund merged with the MA State Teachers and Employees Retirement Systems Trust on January 1, 1997, in accordance with Chapter 315 of the Acts of The MA State Teachers and Employees Retirement System are mandated by statue to invest all of their assets in the PRIT Fund. Chapter 84 of the Acts of 1996, explicitly confirmed retirement boards authority to invest in individual asset classes of the PRIT Fund. This program is called Segmentation gives local retirement boards the flexibility to invest in selected specific asset classes in whatever proportions they deem appropriate to their needs. 10

4 Structure The PRIM Board is comprised of a nine member board with staggered terms. Balance of interests on the Board. Board seats are held by the State Treasurer, the Governor or their designees; members appointed by the State Treasurer and Governor who are private citizens or members of a public safety union; and beneficiary members who are representatives of the State Employees and Massachusetts Teachers Retirement Systems, either through direct election to the PRIM Board or by virtue of their positions as elected members of the State Retirement Board and Massachusetts Teachers Retirement Board. All Board members have an equal vote. The PRIM By-Laws established three Committees: Investment Committee; Real Estate and Timberland Committee and the Administration and Audit Committee. A fourth Committee, the Compensation Committee, was established pursuant to Section 41 of Chapter 68 of the Acts of 2011, the fiscal year 2012 State budget. Asset allocation, investment, and procurement decisions are made by a PRIM Board vote upon recommendations from Committees. Each Committee typically includes two Board Members as well as outside professionals. Committee members are appointed by the Chair of the Board after consultation with other members of the Board and ratified by a vote of the Board. 12

5 Structure (Continued) The Board and Committees are supported by PRIM s investment consultants, auditors, technology consultants and staff. PRIM s Executive Director is hired by vote of the PRIM Board. In turn, the Executive Director has discretion to hire and manage staff. This represents an important separation of duties. The PRIM Board currently holds bi-monthly Board and Committee meetings that are open to the public. Certain portions of the Committee meetings are convened in a closed session to discuss certain trade secrets and/or commercial and financial information relating to the investment of public trust or retirement funds pursuant to Chapter 32 Section 23(6) of M.G.L. Board and Committees are guided by the Board Governance Charters and Policies. All direct investment management functions are outsourced to discretionary managers. Books of records are prepared by BNY Mellon (custodian bank) with PRIM staff reviewing. Outsourcing model provides superior segregation of duties for custody and accounting with continual, detailed review by PRIM staff. 13

6 Structure (continued) Board meetings are open to the public and are well attended. PRIM s open, competitive procurement processes has a high degree of transparency and our compliance with our procurement protocols is audited annually by a Big 4 firm and there has been no exceptions noted in those audits. In addition to the usual performance and core competence measures, procurement decisions are contingent on evaluation of a manager or consultant s risk environments and back office operations. PRIM s Deputy Chief Investment Officer and Director of Risk Management spearheads this evaluation and attends due diligence visits to prospective and retained managers along with investment staff. Continuous review of managers performance and strategy - in both absolute and relative terms. 14

7 Audits and Reporting Annual independent audit of both PRIM Board and PRIT Fund by Big 4 firm. PRIM s independent auditor performs a separate engagement (SSAE #16) to review adherence to PRIM policies and protocols for approving new investments and hiring investment managers, advisors, and consultants. Annual third party review (SASE #16) of our custodian s calculation of our custom benchmarks. PRIM commissions annual independent audits of our real estate and timber portfolios. PRIM is routinely audited by two different state agencies the Massachusetts Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC) and the Massachusetts State Auditor s Office. PERAC has adopted many of PRIM s operational policies and protocols as standards to be used by other public pension systems throughout the Commonwealth. PRIM has received the Government Finance Officers Association s Excellence in Financial Reporting certification for our Comprehensive Annual Fiscal Report (CAFR) report for each of the 10 consecutive years that we have prepared the report. Our 2016 CAFR will be submitted to GFOA later this year. 18

8 Culture The Board and senior management recognize that even the best business model and process is no substitute for a skilled, capable and engaged staff. This basic idea is part of our ongoing dialogue and is discussed both at the Board level and among staff as we review policy, design process, and as we discuss issues as they arise. Transparency is highly valued in our day-to-day work and is built in to our development of policies and processes. Staff are encouraged to contribute ideas and point out opportunities for improvement. Senior management has shown a commitment to finding ways to reduce operational risk and increase efficiency. PRIM has a reputation among other large public funds and other state agencies for being a very effective, well-run organization. We are proud of this reputation and strive to be best in class. 17

9 How to Invest in PRIT: Two Basic Options Participating Retirement System Elects to transfer all its assets to PRIM. Mandatory five year period of participation. An affirmative decision by the Retirement Board requires notification to chief executive officer and legislative body having jurisdiction over the Board and the PRIM Board. Purchasing Retirement System Elects to invest some or all of its assets in the total PRIT Fund, or in the asset class sleeves offered by PRIM through Segmentation. A majority vote of the Retirement Board is all that is required to become a Purchasing System. No minimum dollar investment amount or minimum investment period. A Retirement Board may terminate its relationship with 30 days notice per PRIM s Operating Trust. 19
