Connecticut

The Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds (CRPTF) oversees all state pension systems. The CRPTF consists of 12 representatives: 2 Ex Officio (State Treasurer, Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management); 5 appointed by the Governor and legislative leadership; 3 elected representatives of the teachers’ unions and 2 elected to represent the state employees’ unions. The principal fiduciary is the State Treasurer.

CRPTF 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.
