What changed

The news releases listing aggregates multiple CalSTRS announcements from February 2024 through February 2026, including board and staff appointments, investment performance results, and a significant $190 million settlement achieved for Meta shareholders. Notable items include the reappointment of Michael Gunning to the Teachers' Retirement Board, the selection of Scott Chan as chief investment officer, and the 11th consecutive Best Places to Work recognition.

For pension fund professionals and investment managers, the Meta settlement represents a notable shareholder activism outcome. The proxy voting disclosures showing votes against 2,258 company boards on climate risk disclosure matters may be of interest to those monitoring ESG stewardship activities. The investment returns of 8.5% for FY 2024-25 (total fund value $367.7 billion) and 8.4% for FY 2023-24 provide benchmarks for peer comparison.
