Investment Board
December 17, 2001
The Honorable, The Legislature:
Annually under s.
25.17(14g), Stats., the Investment Board submits a report to the Legislature on investment goals and long-term strategies. As we have done the past two year, I am writing to advise you that we plan to submit the report in February. Although this will be after the December 31 due date, it will enable us to provide a more complete and informative report to you.
The Board of Trustees will consider recommendations on investment strategies made by an outside consultant at their January meeting and asset allocation for 2002 at their February meeting. We believe it will be helpful to reflect the outcome of those discussions in our report to you. In addition, we will include in the report ways we plan to achieve the recommendations included in the recently published report from the Legislative Audit Bureau.
The report we submit in February will also include the performance assessment required under s.
25.17(14m). As in past years, we plan to combine the two reports to make it easier to understand the relationship between our strategies and our investment results.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Patricia Lipton
Executive Director
State of Wisconsin

Veterans are represented in all employment types throughout Wisconsin's civil service. Wisconsin State government can be truly proud of the efforts made to recruit and retain our nation's heroes.
