NYSCRF aims for the best risk-adjusted returns needed to achieve and maintain fully funded status. The firm’s asset allocation is updated at defined intervals through a rigorous process to reflect changing market conditions and long-term views and is subject to a disciplined rebalancing process to ensure strong returns. They take risks to generate stronger long-term performance and only do so where they are compensated by expected return. NSYCRF considers environmental, social and governance factors in their investment process because they can influence both risk and return. The firm diversifies asset classes, sectors, geographies, time horizons, and other factors.

Individually managed equity portfolios emphasize long-term growth and are constructed from a list of between 30 and 50 stocks carefully selected from a universe of about 300 companies. Typically large capitalization, these stocks are identified through a process that combines bottom-up company-by-company analysis with top-down screening. Approved stocks are combined in a portfolio that is deliberately diversified across economic sectors to manage risk while capitalizing on long-term economic expectations and demographic trends. Equities: The firm methodology for equities investing includes a systematic analysis of macroeconomic conditions. To be included in a portfolio a company must: 1) have historically low relative p/e ratio of stock to industry, stock to market and stock to GNP; 2) be growing at a rate greater than its current p/e multiple; 3) have a strong cash flow; 4) have increasing levels of dividends. Stocks are sold when they reach an extreme in the established price range, the fundamentals deteriorate, or there are more compelling buying opportunities available. Balanced & Fixed: The firm uses a combination of economic, international, and political analysis to begin to determine the proper asset allocation between fixed-income and equity investments. Fixed-income parameters are based upon forecasts of trends in economics and interest rates and other technical considerations. The equity portion of the portfolio is determined by establishing a likely range for the market based upon forecasts of earnings, inflation, and corporate price-earnings. In addition, consideration is given to the clients' investment objectives.
