The State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB) 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 WRS.
But did you know that part of that strategy includes making investments right here in Wisconsin?
Through its two dedicated portfolios, 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 episode 33 of The SWIB Podcast, SWIB Portfolio Manager Chris Prestigiacomo talks about the investments both portfolios hold in Wisconsin companies, the positive impact on the WRS Trust Funds and the state's economy, and what the current private debt and venture capital ecosystems look like in Wisconsin.
