D.A. Davidson & Co.

CoPERA’s trust funds are invested under the direction of a board of trustees. Their investment strategy uses actuarially established asset allocation investment objectives with long-term goals and policies. Assets are diversified into domestic and international stocks, corporate, government, and international bonds, mortgages, real estate and alternative investments. The fund is long-term in nature and the selection of investments is regulated by statutory limitation, investment time horizon, the limits of acceptable risk and the objective of optimizing the total rate of return. The targeted strategic asset allocation is designed to provide an optimal diversification to reduce risk and maximize total rate of return relative to risk. Many of CoPERA's actively managed portfolios are managed by outside sub-advisors.
