Illinois-Based Managers
The Board recognizes that investments made in businesses operating in Illinois and in real estate and other assets in the state may contribute to an improved economic climate in the state. Therefore, where investment characteristics such as competitive rate of return in relation to the risks involved, minimum quality standards, liquidity considerations, and other investment objectives of the Board are equivalent, the Board favors investments which will have a positive impact on the economy of Illinois.
