33. Finding Strong Investment Opportunities at Home
As part of its sophisticated and diverse investment strategy, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board makes investments in companies and funds across the country and around the world as part of a disciplined, prudent and innovative approach to market opportunities that ultimately benefit the Wisconsin Retirement System. But did you know that part of that strategy includes making investments right here in Wisconsin? Through its two dedicated portfolios that focus on Wisconsin, SWIB’s private debt program and Wisconsin venture capital portfolio have invested in opportunities that both provide positive investment returns for the WRS and enhance economic growth in the state.
In this episode of The SWIB Podcast, we welcome back SWIB Portfolio Manager Chris Prestigiacomo. Chris talks about the investments SWIB’s private debt and venture capital portfolios hold in Wisconsin companies, the positive impact the two portfolios have had on the WRS trust funds as well as the state's economy, and what the current private debt and venture capital ecosystems look like in Wisconsin.
