TRS’ Internal Investment Committee (IIC) approves investments in private equity, real estates, hedge funds and external managers. The firm’s investment performance is calculated using a daily time weighted rate of return. Investment decisions are based on asset allocation, which is determined after consideration of expected returns for asset classes with the context of risk tolerance for the fund. TRS uses both passive and active investing styles. Their approach tracks the performance of key benchmarks and provides the opportunity to add value through active portfolios. TRS' style is a disciplined, balanced approach with a strong quantitative foundation that focuses on long-term returns and objectives rather than on short-term market movements.

Metropolitan West Capital Management (MetWest) specializes in domestic value equity, international core value equity and balanced portfolios. The firm employs a team-based approach to identify the stocks of high quality, growing businesses that are selling at a discount to their intrinsic value. Their approach also requires the existence of one or more positive catalysts that will unlock that value, leading to a higher stock price. They are long-term investors, not traders or speculators; their conservative style fosters capital preservation and consistency of returns. In addition to above-market returns, MetWest seeks below-market risk. They screen candidates for characteristics such as low p/e ratios, high dividend yields, growing cash flows and low debt levels. Portfolios are diversified across economic sectors and individual securities.

USBAM’s investment process strives to preserve principal, maintain liquidity, manage risk to client parameters, and produce returns commensurate with client goals.

They focus on taxable and tax-exempt high-quality fixed income securities with investment objectives of safety, liquidity, diversification and yield.
