PUBLIC EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION: Chief Investment Officer.
body
BACKGROUND:
SBCERA’s Chief Investment Officer (CIO) is eligible for an incentive award, at the conclusion of each fiscal year, pursuant to his Incentive Award Agreement dated July 6, 2015.
The incentive award shall not exceed 50% of base salary and is calculated based on metrics which were approved by the Board on May 7, 2015. Attached for your review are the calculations for the incentive award, except for the Board’s discretionary metric, which needs to be determined, up to 5% for the CIO. Effective with the next fiscal year, an updated rubric has been approved by the Board and will be utilized starting in FY 2025-26.
The investment performance for FY 2024-25 was 8.70%, net of fees, which is reflected in the quantitative calculations for the Incentive Award (26% out of a possible 30%). The CEO has awarded 8% for Administration and 4% in the CEO’s discretionary award for FY 2024-25, which is reflected in the calculations on Exhibit A.
Total award:
Don Pierce $148,200 (38%) plus Board discretionary:
1% $3,900 for a total incentive of $152,100
2% $7,800 for a total incentive of $156,000
3% $11,700 for a total incentive of $159,900
4% $15,600 for a total incentive of $--163,800
5% $19,500 for a total incentive of $167,700
The Board may also use partial percentage points up to the full 5%.
The Board may discuss the CIO’s performance in Closed Session but must be in Open Session when making its deliberation and decision on this compensation element.
