BOSTON (Reuters) – California Treasurer Fiona Ma on Monday said she supports divesting Russian assets from the state’s big pension funds.
“We need to send a very clear and unequivocal response that California will not stand for Russia’s aggression,” Ma said in a statement sent by a representative. Decisions would be made by systems such as the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, where Ma is a board member.
