3 INTRODUCTION The Public Employees Retirement Association of Colorado (Colorado PERA) is the sponsor of three participant-directed plans (Plans): the Voluntary Investment Program (401(k) Plan), the Deferred Compensation Plan (457 Plan), and the Defined Contribution Retirement Plan (DC Plan). Colorado PERA and the three participant-directed plans are governed by a 16-member Board of Trustees (Trustees). The 401(k) and 457 Plans are supplementary plans and the DC plan is one of two primary retirement plan choices for eligible employees of particular employers in the State Division, with the other being a defined benefit plan. The Voluntary Investment Program (401(k) Plan) is an Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) defined contribution plan administered by Colorado PERA. It was established in 1985 to provide supplemental retirement benefits to members of the State, School, Local Government, Judicial, and Denver Public Schools Division Trust Funds of Colorado PERA. The Plan is a voluntary participant-directed defined contribution plan. The Colorado PERA Deferred Compensation Plan (457 Plan) is an Internal Revenue Code Section 457 defined contribution plan administered by Colorado PERA. It was established by PERA on July 1, 2009, as a continuation of the State Deferred Compensation Plan to provide supplemental retirement benefits to employees of Colorado PERA employers affiliated with the Plan. The Plan is a voluntary participant-directed defined contribution plan. The Colorado PERA Defined Contribution Plan (DC Plan) is an Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a) defined contribution plan administered by Colorado PERA. It was established in 2006 for eligible new hires employed by the State who were allowed to make a retirement plan choice within 60 days of employment between the Colorado PERA Defined Contribution Plan, the State DC Plan, and the PERA defined benefit plan. Choice between the PERA DC Plan and the PERA DB Plan was extended to community college new hires as of January 1, As of July 1, 2009, the State DC Plan was transferred into the PERA DC Plan. The Plans participants and beneficiaries are expected to have different investment retirement objectives, time horizons, and investment risk tolerances. To meet these varying investment needs, participants and beneficiaries will be able to direct their account balances among a range of Investment Options and a self-directed brokerage window to construct diversified portfolios that can reasonably span the risk/return spectrum. Participants and beneficiaries alone bear the risk of investment results from the funds and asset mixes that they select. PURPOSE The purpose of the investment policy is to:» State the Trustees investment objectives for the Plans.» Define the roles of those responsible for the Plans investments.» Describe the criteria and procedures for selecting appropriate Investment Options and their Underlying Portfolio.» Describe procedures to address Underlying Portfolios that fail to satisfy established objectives.» Establish investment performance standards.» Establish objectives for monitoring and evaluating performance. 2

Plan participants bear the risks associated with their investment decisions. SELECTION OF INVESTMENTS OPTIONS (PERADVANTAGE FUNDS) AND UNDERLYING PORTFOLIOS Asset Allocation An appropriate range of Investment Options will be offered. The range will span the risk/return spectrum to allow participants to diversify their investments. Further, the Plans Investment Options will allow Plan participants to construct portfolios consistent with their unique individual circumstances, goals, time horizons, and tolerance for risk. The Investment Options selected should be able to be implemented at a reasonable cost to the Plan and/or participants in terms of management, custody, and other costs, and have investment characteristics that can be successfully communicated to participants. Information relative to Investment Options and their characteristics will be communicated to participants and potential participants. The Investment Options to be offered in the Plans are shown in Appendix A. The Investment Options offered should be monitored quarterly and formally reviewed periodically annually by the IAC for any possible additions and/or deletions. If the IAC deems it appropriate to recommend termination of an Investment Option, an alternative Investment Option should be considered. Communication should be provided to participants regarding the relevant characteristics of the Investment Option and the impact of the termination of the Investment Option on potential diversification. In the event of a termination of an Investment Option and there is no similar option provided, participants will be provided a transition period to reallocate their accounts among available Investment Options. If a participant does not reallocate out of a terminated Investment Option by the end of the transition period, those assets will be reallocated to the Default Investment Option. As markets move over time, the actual asset mix of each Investment Option s Underlying Portfolios may diverge from the target allocations. In order to meet the Investment Options objectives, the IAC shall review and maintain rebalancing guidelines and procedures. Criteria for Selection of Underlying Portfolios 6

8 After determining the Investment Options to be used, the IAC must evaluate and recommend the Underlying Portfolios and their managers to meet the specific investment characteristics of each Investment Option. Vehicles considered for Plan assets may include separately managed accounts, mutual funds, collective investment trusts, and insurance company separate accounts, or any other investment vehicle approved in accordance with this policy, which may include funds managed by Colorado PERA staff. Each Underlying Portfolio should meet the following criteria at the time of selection and continue to fulfill the criteria during retention. Failure to maintain the criteria below may qualify the Underlying Portfolio for termination. Internally managed funds may be created that do not meet some of the criteria below. Underlying Portfolios are generally expected to:» Fulfill all or a portion of the Investment Options that have been defined for the Plans;» For actively managed investment managers, have absolute and risk-adjusted performance equal to or greater than the median return for an appropriate, style-specific benchmark and peer group over a reasonable time period;» For indexed investment portfolio managers, have gross of fees performance equal to the individual fund s benchmark with minimal relative tracking error over a reasonable time period;» Have a reasonable tenure of managing the portfolio to ensure that its past performance is attributed to the particular manager or management team;» Have an investment strategy and supporting investment process likely to achieve investment results expected for the role within the Investment Option it will implement;» Have competitive fees compared to similar investments;» Be able to provide to the Plans all performance, attribution of returns, holding, and other relevant information in a timely fashion;» Operate in good standing with regulators and clients, with no material pending or adversely concluded legal actions;» Provide detailed information on the history of changes to the firm s investment philosophy and investment process;» Provide detailed information on the firm s approach, its principals, clients, locations, fee schedules, and other relevant information;» Have substantial assets under management in a particular (or similar) strategy, generally defined as a minimum of $500 million except where the nature of the particular mandate makes that asset level difficult to achieve;» Maintain appropriate investment diversification;» Have management and/or oversight by an investment advisor registered with the SEC or by a bank or insurance company with appropriate investment powers. Criteria for Termination of Underlying Portfolios An Underlying Portfolio may be recommended for termination when the IAC has lost confidence in the strategy and its management s ability to:» Achieve performance and risk objectives;» Comply with investment guidelines;» Comply with regulatory requirements;» Comply with reporting requirements;» Maintain a stable organization and retain key relevant investment professionals;» Or any other reason the IAC may deem appropriate. 7

9 Any recommendation to terminate an Underlying Portfolio will be treated on an individual basis, and need not be made based solely on quantitative data or on any one factor. An Underlying Portfolio to be terminated shall be handled using one of the following approaches:» Be removed and replaced with an alternative portfolio or portfolio manager;» Be frozen with existing assets managed by the terminated portfolio manager with new assets directed to a replacement portfolio manager;» Be phased out over a specific time period;» Be removed without providing a replacement portfolio manager if other portfolios in the same option are available and appropriate. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Underlying Portfolio performance will be reviewed versus appropriate benchmarks and comparative manager universes. Performance will be analyzed over relevant time periods which will include three years, five years and market cycles. EVALUATION AND REVIEW Investment Policy The IAC shall review the investment policy annually periodically to determine if amendments are appropriate based on changed circumstances such as the market environment or changes to the Plans plan documents. Investment Options The IAC shall review annually periodically the Investment Options provided by the Plans for appropriateness in light of participant needs and the current market environment and industry trends. Underlying Portfolios Each Underlying Portfolio is expected to achieve the performance and investment objectives specified by the IAC and will be reviewed on a quarterly basis. From time to time, the fund(s) may not achieve one or more of these objectives, but will be expected to achieve them over the long-term. Long-term is typically defined as a market cycle, or a three- to five-year period. Periodic monitoring of the Underlying Portfolio should utilize the same criteria that were used for the selection of the portfolio manager. At a minimum, the evaluation of the investment and performance objectives should include the following comparisons:» Evaluation of relative performance by comparison with an appropriate style-specific benchmark for the last quarter, year-to-date, one year, three years, five years, and ten years or inception to date;» For actively managed investment portfolio managers, evaluation of relative performance by comparison with the performance of funds with similar investment objectives for the last quarter, year-to-date, one year, three years, five years, and ten years or the inception to date; 8

10 » Measures of specific risk and risk-adjusted return within a reasonable range relative to an appropriate, style-specific benchmark and peer group for the last quarter, year-to-date, one year, three years, five years, and ten years or inception to date;» Analysis of investment objectives, policies, and actions for consistency with the Investment Option and consistency over time;» Review of the investment process including any personnel changes;» Review of management fees and other expenses compared with similar funds. Parties not involved in the management of any of the underlying portfolio managers should provide the evaluation of performance.
