Colorado

Colorado has one main public pension fund:

  • The PERA board represents all eligible state employees; the board consists of 16 members: 1 Ex Officio (State Treasurer); 3 appointed by the Governor; 4 appointed by the School Division employees; 3 appointed by the State Division employees; 1 appointed by the Local Government Division employees; 1 appointed by the Judicial Division; 2 appointed by PERA retirees; 1 non-voting member appointed by the DPS Division retirees and employees.
    • Colorado PERA discloses its specific proxy voting records on this website.

The first table shows the aggregated proxy voting records of the state’s asset managers, who manage the pension’s stock market portfolio either through mutual funds or ETFs, and are therefore exercising proxy voting privileges as well. The second table shows the state’s publicly disclosed proxy voting records for public securities that it directly owns through pension fund portfolios. Both of these tables are necessary to reflect an accurate and comprehensive picture of the state’s proxy voting records.
