Hunting for Alpha: Inside SWIB's Beta One Portfolio
How does the State of Wisconsin Investment Board seek to generate returns beyond the broader markets for the Wisconsin Retirement System?
In the latest episode of The SWIB Podcast, Head of Funds Alpha Derek Drummond and Senior Analyst Ryan Johnston offer a closer look at SWIB’s Beta One portfolio.
They explain the difference between “alpha” and “beta,” how SWIB identifies skilled external investment managers, and why active management can create additional value for the WRS.
The discussion also explores how SWIB combines different investment strategies to pursue consistent results across changing market conditions.
Drummond and Johnston share how SWIB’s experienced staff, strong governance, and long-term partnerships, collectively known as the “SWIB edge,” help the team evaluate opportunities and manage risk.
Most importantly, the episode looks at how the work of the Funds Alpha team connects to SWIB’s responsibility to benefit the WRS.
