"This is a unique moment in the financial markets, and we've seen a deviation from some investing fundamentals," said CalPERS Chief Investment Officer Nicole Musicco.
"For instance, our traditional diversification strategies were less effective than expected, as we saw both public equity and fixed income assets fall in tandem."
Top Holdings of CalPERS at the end of the first quarter included Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), Amazon, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) and Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (NYSE:BRKA) (NYSE:BRKB), according to its 13F filing.
