INVESTMENT MANAGERS

APFC hires specialized investment managers and issues each one money to make investments for the Fund.  Each manager's portfolio is part of an overall design to balance Fund total investment risk and return.  To evaluate manager performance, APFC assigns each an index comprised of securities representing a certain market segment: the index becomes a manager’s benchmark.  Active managers attempt to outperform their benchmarks.  Passive managers attempt to replicate the indexes that comprise their benchmarks, and match benchmark performance.
