here. we've met about six times, i think seven, including yesterday, and you'll see we -- these are the seven working points responsibilities that we've identified so far. i expect this to be tweaked once or twice over the next quarter or two, but these are the assignments and responsibilities that we're acting on. some closings that we're reporting on -- >> we'll take the closings as submitted unless there's anything really important you want to point out that was -- >> no. is that okay? very good. very good. okay. so i'm going to move -- and would you like to move through the charts and just save those for another time, given the hour? >> why don't you hit on some of the high points? >> one thing i'll point out is look at the chart on page five, the lower part. the equity market was down for the year. but what did earnings do?

earnings were great. so, you know, earnings have been the best for three quarters, and now, four or five quarters in that they've been for a number of years. and as a result, what has happened. on page six, equity markets are no longer expensive. and on the lower one on page six, on a forward basis, the s&pe, and the equity markets are now 411. the market looks like it represents good investment value when earnings have been great, but the market direction has been going a different direction. i'll highlight just a couple of others here. you know, there are two long-term worries. on page eight, on the lower part is growth in the u.s. has slowed by about 1.25, almost

1.5% structurally, relative to our historical norm. well, we have a lot of liabilities coming due in medicare and social security. to have increasing liabilities due and slower growth is not a good combination at all. and you see that expressed on page nine, is that with increasing government deficits and slower growth, that is also a really bad sign. you know, when people use the word "that's unsustainable," a better word is it "collapses." the only solution is really high taxes, which would destroy growth, printing a ton of money.

those are the only long-term solutions, or the other is to pay t not pay the benefits that have been promised in terms of medicare and social security. i'm going to highlight just one or two more. we've highlighted, on page 13, that the -- the number of publicly traded companies in the u.s. has fallen by half over a period of 20 years. and this is because of increased regulations, increased disclosure requirements, companies having to provide their trade secrets and their strategy, so they're staying private longer. you see this private equity, private equity has grown a lot in terms of an asset class, and the record valuations that we've talked about here, as well as the increased amount of dry capital are worry some

signs, but public interest is competitive in the market, and also the pace of innovation and companies are staying private for much longer than they ever have before. so those are potential factors that could offset the report valuations in dry powder and driest equity. we're very pleased to hire an analyst to support andrew in our e.s.g. efforts. luke angus, and i've really written a three-paragraph bio on luke. luke has extraordinary experience and also an extraordinary academic background and research background, and he joins us i think it's next week. we do have a couple of positions that are open. we are near the -- in the final phases of our managing director

for private markets, and we do have security analysts open really for private and liquid credit, the e.s.g. has -- will be filled -- coming on board next week. earlier, commission -- commissioner chu, i believe it was last month, on item 14, asked for a calendar of reports for the board meetings, and we are in the midst of preparing those. we want to be thoughtful about doing that because we are bringi bringing close to 100 investment recommendations to the board per year, about eight a month. but that is collides with a lot of other activities that you also see need to be brought to the board, so you see a half a page or 11 items' worth of reports. so we're preparing this. we haven't forgotten. we'll just bring it forward when we have something complete and ready to deliver to the board. we're going to make another

effort to bring the risk management report -- we're real really enthused about this report. some of it's comparing our portfolio to an optimized portfolio, value added of our portfolio versus 60-30 and 60-40 as well as a complete array of risk exposures through the portfolio. we're really excited to bring it to you. with that, i'll turn it over to the board. >> thank you, commissioner coaker. questions from the board? commissioner driscoll? >> on page three of your report, you might say where -- how the money is currently allocated, this one. obviously, there's been a bunch of decisions made in the last

60 days -- there's a lot of allocation that you must do. >> we have taken public equity down. alan was saying your time of taking public equity down by 12% was really quite timely. >> it was a couple of percentage points of that. >> yeah. >> to tell me -- yeah, that's it. >> understand it. therefore, what i'm requesting, at least once a year, will be the june 30 period ending or the december 31 period ending, the current way we get the numbers now, total return with the benchmark, and the over under meeting accessory return, please add the tracking error number and the information ratio number. we looked at the great chart that we've been using reejt. i think once a year, we should get that since we're getting the new emphasis with our

managers. so on an ongoing retention basis, that's what i want to say. >> as i looked over, i see ana writing, and she's writing your comment down. >> to figure out which quarter is the best quarter year ending date. >> certainly. >> any other questions from the board? [inaudible] >> i just -- bill said you did well. well, we released the investor funds greater than a billion return yesterday. people here in this room know that if you had a 70-30 portfolio last year because of the market decline in the fourth quarter, the average individual last anywhere from from 3 to 7%. depending if they had an

international or domestic portfolio. the median event in this country lost only 4% this year. i'm aware of only three funds in the united states with positive results, and you were at the top of that list. so even though it was 1.5%, it was one of three plans that had a positive number. you were the best performing public fund in this country on a one-year and five-year basis. so you'll hear more about that, and why, but congratulations to you all. >> thanks to everyone in this room who's worked hard to make that happen. >> questions. >> did our allocation to absolution return help that? >> i don't have that. next month, that's what we'll go through. >> okay. looking forward to that. >> commissioner casciato. >> can i ask that in the interests of time, the remaining items that are

informational in nature be adopted as submitted, and that we hear from the executive director as the last item? >> let's finish this item, and then, we'll work through them. >> okay. why don't we open it up to public comment. are there any members of the public that would like to address the commission on this item? seeing none, we'll close public comment. thank you. mr. coaker, just one question. when are we going to see the absolute report? >> march. >> yeah, complete report in march. >> okay. thank you. okay. so that was item number ten. thank you very much. why don't we call items 11 and 12 together. [inaudible] >> -- investment performance through second half of 2018, and item 12, discussion item, sfpcp manager report. >> i think we can take these

items as submitted. >> we want to talk about the great work. >> thank you very much for the report. is there any high points that you want to hit within a brief amount of time? >> yes, certainly. the -- the semiannual performance of the sfdcp is covered in the submitting deck for item number 11, and item number 12 is the sfdcp annual report. the activity report has been revised to be reflected of quarterly activity. and also, the report will touch on the following key areas: marketing, the record keeper, operations, and investments. i do have some updates for you. they are listed actually in the memo, so i would like to ask the board if they would like to hear them really quickly.

>> sure, please. >> are you on item number 12? >> i am on item number 12, yes. okay. so on the marketing front, we had a very successful lunch and learn in october of last year. really quickly, this started in 2017, with the big picture when it was introduced, positioning both d.b. and d.c. and social security together. it went really well with a record turnout and great feedback and was actually a benchmark. this year, staff tweaked the presentation slightly in response to survey feedback, and we used your scene, the whole story. the idea is to visualize the length of retirement in proportion to the length of your live. for example, did your retirement years could long be longer than your working years? so the results of that seminar is actually reflected in the deck supporting the memo, and you can see specific results on

page three, four, and five showing that 95% of the attendees found the information very informative, and there's instant feedback. congratulations on a great review, and here's to 2019. we have commenced discussions with voya. our first meeting with them will occur in the last week of february? they have a dedicated transition team to the dcp? the transition date is still tbd, but assuming everything goes as planned, assuming no later than august. this allows us to be very aware of other departments during their fiscal year end. >> so august is "ish." [inaudible] >> okay. >> from an operations

standpoint, both areas are being discussed as part of new employee orientation that was launched last year, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. as we work on transition is to voya, we strive to focus more d.b. and d.c. information together. and last, but not least, investment, clocking in at over 1 billion as of the end of january. the crediting rate for stable value is 2.42% for q-1, write means this rate is guaranteed -- which means this rate is guaranteed regardless of how the performs for three months. we plan to present a report in may covering its history, where we are currently and what to expect in the future as recession rumors loom. and finally for target date funds, they are a current default investment. they makeup ruffly a quarter of our plan assets? in response to an increasingly younger workforce, we will be

launching the fund 2016 and the 2065 fund in april, and the 2020 fund will eventually be mapped into the retirement income funds, and that concludes my quarterly report. >> 2060 retirement date, that is depressing. commissioner driscoll. >> miss russell designed a glide path for those two? >> yes. >> yes. it's part of our comprehensive series. >> maybe we'll discuss this -- is this on the calendar for the next deferred comp committee meeting? >> yes, we can certainly discuss that in more detail. >> let's make sure that it's on the calendar so we don't get slapped for talking about things not on the agenda. >> let's open it up to public comment. any member of the public wishing to comment on this item? seeing none, close public

comment. item 13 is discussion only. we can punt that till next month. item 13. >> okay. >> why don't we go to item 19, executive director's report, please. >> good afternoon. i'll be brief, also. it's that time of year again. it's time to prepare your statements of economic interest as well as if you need to take your ethics and sunshine training. we provided the information as to where you can find it. a reminder, last year was the first time that the board members and the executive director were required to file on-line, and so again, if you would like to see what you filed last year, it's available on-line. darlene certainly can make copies of it, but the deadline for the form 700 is april 2, in

observance of some national or federal holiday. and the ethics and sunshine training, you must complete that by april 1. so darlene has sent out an e-mail. she'll send out follow up e-mails. she'll be tracking to make sure you all successfully meet this date. two items, we have extended the chiron contract one year. we wanted to get it off cycle with the actuarial audit, and so what we've done is we've extended it for one year. we'll go out for r.f.p. with the contract ending in 2020 rather than 2019. we'll also done the -- we've also done the same thing with the cambridge consulting contract. we want today have the new managing director of private markets involved in that selection process, and as bill indicated, we're very close to naming a replacement for art wong, but until that's done, we

went ahead and extended the cambridge contract for one year. we also, as part of a successtion plan, an executive director's successtion plan, we have launched an executive director search r.f.q. that is currently on the plan's website. so if you have any ideas of folks that might be interested in it, just let us know and we'll make sure they get the r.f.q., too -- we'll get the r.f.q. to them. i have two things off calendar that i need to report. one is as staff has -- was doing an audit of the protect our benefit payments to those post-1996 folks, they discovered i believe it's just over 90 folks who retired for disability from the safety plans, and the retirement date was prior to 1996.

however, their q.s.r. date, the date they would become qualified for service retirement was after the 1996 date. so when we evaluated the court order and the charter, the charter language is very clear. for a safety member who is injured in the line of duty, q.s.r. date basically says you're entitled to benefits as if you worked uninterrupted by disability until that date. and so we determined that those folks actually qualify as the post '96 folks, and so we sent retroactive payments for three cost of living adjustments to them in january -- i believe it was january. so that's just a report to the board. second issue is we were notified last week of a data breach in the sfdpc plan. there were 42 forms, paper

forms that were stolen out of a car of one of the credentialed field representatives, so we have identified those folks who were impacted. we are working with prudential as well as our city attorney to make sure that we comply with all of the notification, requirements of both state law and federal law as well as working with the affected participants and beneficiaries to ensure that there are steps taken to protect them against identity theft. and with that, i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> are there any questions from the board? >> when we get to 18, i'll add to what you did. >> seeing there are none, i'll open it up for public comment. are there any members of the public that would like to

comment? seeing none, we'll close public comment. it appears there are only two items left, and we can get through them quickly. why don't we go to 18, item personnel committee reports. >> 18, item personnel committee reports. >> the committee discussed two things, our closed session, we're going to make sure that quarterly personnel meetings are scheduled. we have a time issue that we've got to resolved. the key issue that executive director huish already talked about was the release of the r.f.q. >> that's correct. >> i just want to let you point out, our objective is much like we have a farm team of legal workers to do a var item of on call, the obvious tiff is to -- objective is to have a team of on call, team of physicians that we're better off utilizing a term, so the idea is to

interest three on call people who specialize in this area. and there may be differences between administrative kmux communications and investment types. the full board must vote on whichever firms we decide to hire, so it'll all be coming back to you with a lot more detail. i thought i'd start out with giving you all the objectives. >> thank you, commissioner driscoll. any comments from the board? seeing none, we'll open it up to public comment. are there any members of the public that would like to address the commission on this item? seeing none, we'll close public comment. why don't we call item 20. >> item 20, discussion item, retirement member good of the order. >> anybody have anything for the board? >> i do. we obviously had a very long closed session, and what our c.i.o. has forecasted, we have

another 100 items, and you can see how long the closed session ran today. sometimes we're cutting off some of our other presenters, particularly the deferred comp quarterly report. we have to figure out a way to start earlier or figure out a way amongst ourselves to limit the q&a. it is up to us to make sure we don't short shrift somebody who needs to talk to us more. >> good point, commissioner driscoll. i will make sure i work with the kmekttive director and c.i.o. and any other board members who want to talk about that. recently, there's been some issues with people retiring from city employment where there's some -- i think maybe either miscommunication from the agency like h.s.s. or sfers where a member thought they were entitled to a benefit, and based upon a conversation with

an analyst, they believe they're entitled to something. they then found out later that they were not entitled to it, and it caused a lot of apgs item f -- anxiety for that person where their retirement plan has changed. there are also instances where people who were involved in the drop program maybe misunderstood what they were eligible to get in retirement in terms of spouses, continuation benefits. and so one thing that's important to me is when people retire, there's no verbal assurance as to what you're going to get. everything should be in writing. there's going to be no mistake what you're going to get, your dependents are going to get, what your spouse is going to get. to avoid that, i'm going to

work with our executive director to find a way that there is no confusion for people when they retire, and that they have something on a piece of paper. that's all i have. anything else from the board? >> forgot. in the c.i.o. report, after the publication of the board materials but before the board meeting, we did have one item close, and so i need to furnish that to you all. i'll give you each a piece of paper showing the closing, and i'll give it to darlene, as well. >> all right. seeing nothing else, i guess we'll call for public comment -- >> excuse me, commissioner, can i underscore your point about communications. perhaps in the training for the analyst or whoever incident faces with the public when they come in for counseling or to retire, do they understand the concept of detrimental reliance? >> absolutely. >> okay. i don't want to train them, but i just want to make sure because we had a case come up with that -- a recent case.

>> and to be clear, what i said, it's not meant to take anything away from all the people here that meet with our members every single day. it's just a general observation that sometimes members maybe just don't understand what they're being told. we need to find a way to make it so that there's absolute clarity for them. that's all i have. we'll open it up to public comment. are there any members of the public that would like to address the members of the commission regarding this item? seeing none, we'll close public comment. meeting adjourned. thank you, everyone.

>> i moved into my wonderful, beautiful, affordable housing march 7th. i have lived in san francisco since i was two-years-old. i've lived in hunters view for 23 to 24 years now.

my name is vlady. i use titus and i am the resident commissioner for the san francisco housing facility. from the very beginning, this whole transition of public housing and affordable housing was a good idea. but many, many residents didn't think it would ever actually happen. it's been a life changing experience. and i'm truly grateful for the whole initiative and all those that work on the whole sf initiative. they've done a wonderful job accommodating the residents, who for many years have lived in delap tated housing. now they have quality housing. i was on a street where the living room and the kitchen and

stairs. it wasn't large enough to accommodate. the children are grown. i had the accomplish of having a dishwasher in my home. i really like that. [laughter] i really like not having to wash dishes by hand. we still do it from time to time. the mayor's office has been a real friend to us, a partner. we know that our city supports us. i love san francisco. just to be able to stay in my community and continue to help the residents who live here and continue to see my neighborhoods move into new housing, it's been a real joy. it's been a real joy.

>> okay. i want all of san francisco to hear us, so louder. >> all right. we want to first off welcome our mayor, the mayor of san francisco, mayor london breed. [applause] >> we've got to check this out. >> the hon. london breed: the pressure.

celebration, which really highlights the importance of family, of coming together, of community, and of celebrating each and every person that is important to our communities and our neighborhoods. and i'm being upstaged by a pig. but happy year of the boar, everybody. here in our city, we will break bread together, we will watch and celebrate the festivities together. there's an incredible market in chinatown where there are flowers can you purchase, goodies that you can purchase chas, and i. i along with many people that you see will be participating. the beautiful floats, the

breed -- [speaking chinese language] >> -- and to improve the business environment, and i think great progress was made. [inaudible] >> -- equivalent to $13.6 trillion u.s. representing 6.6% year over

year. and china's trade with foreign countries amounted to $12 $12.6 trillion u.s. and china's trade with the u.s. raising $6.25 million u.s., and created by 8.5% with china's exports to u.s. all those figures represent -- i think demonstrate that china's economy has maintained stable and good momentum for

developing. and well, the tariffs increased on china's exports to the united states were counter productive, and that -- that's led to the down sizing of the united states market share in china. that's also told us that there's an urgent need to bring u.s.-china trade relations back to normal sooner rather than later. looking into the new year, i think china and the united states would work together, work together to develop the relationship based on coordination, cooperation, and stablity as outlined by the two presidents cheering on the sideline of the g20.

and i think our countries are working very hard now to implement a consensus. and i would like to work with all of you to materialize the consensus reached by two presidents. both of our countries can benefit more from our cooperation. thank you. happy new year again. [applause] >> wow, council general from china. we're all supposed to be happy. good news, so happy new year, mr. president trump. hope that you will continue to preserve a positive relationship between our countries. yeah. okay. so we've got all of the big shots here, a lot of big shots fr . from the board of supervisors, i was advised that supervisor
