Partnership of the Year! We are thrilled to share the news that the Global Peer Financing Association (GPFA), which was founded by CalPERS, HOOPP (Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan), OPERS and State of Wisconsin Investment Board, was awarded Partnership of the Year at last night's Institutional Investor Allocators’ Choice Awards. We are amazed to have been recognized alongside such prestigious buyside organizations. Thank you!

Just over one year after GPFA was founded, the Association now has 20 global beneficial owner members representing nearly $9 trillion in combined assets. GPFA wouldn't be possible without our committed volunteer Board of Directors and engaged members. Thank you to all GPFA members for coming together to challenge and shape best practices in our industry. We look forward to continuing to learn from one another
