General Employee Pension Board Presentation by Pension Board Member Ben Ward ' Mr. Ward stated that he was selected as the pension board secretary in August and since the Pension Boar Chair was out of the cou.ntry, he was asked to report the results of the November 7, 2016 quarterly meeting. A summary of actions taken had been provided with the agenda. It was highlighted that since September 30, 2015, the fund grew by $447,706.00 to $4,012,405.00 due to contributions and gains combined. Mr. Ward outlined the percentage of stocks held in di .fferent industries. The Board's financial adviser, The Bogdan Group, suggested a move of fifty percent (approximately $1 million) of the domestic equities investment into the Vanguard Russell 3000 Total Stock Market Index mutual fund. He stated that after some discussion, the Board agreed with the recommendation. The next Pension Board meeting was February 6, 2017 at 1 p.m. in the Council Chambers. Given Dana Investment Advisors' enhanced fee for active management, Council Member D'Ambra was not satisfied with the explanation of underperformance they provided. If the plan underperformed with guidance and advice of The Bogdan Group, why was only 50% and not all of the money transferred to a mutual fund? He wondered if The Bogdan Group effectively represented the Board's interests and whether this was discussed with them. Council Member D'Ambra wanted this addressed with the pension board as the plan's performance compared to the market was disappointing. Council Member Paterno concurred and asked whether, with the recommended move to mutual funds, The Bogdan Group fees were reduced. He wondered whether it was better to invest fully in mutual funds and discontinue use of The Bogdan Group. Council Member D'Ambra felt that an advisor was still important to guide the Board however, the question was whether The Bogdan Group was the right advisor since it seemed their perFormance did not justify their fees. � � Minutes — Regular 12/08/16 � Page 3 CONSENT AGENDA MOTION: Council Member Okun moved approval of the following Consent Agenda; seconded by Council Member Paterno; motion carried 5-0. 4.
