Pension fund strategy & Wall Street fees
Would cut external Wall Street fees and shift toward low-cost, internally managed index funds — 'stop lining Wall Street's pockets and invest smarter to give billions back to working New Yorkers.'
drewwarshaw.com · Ideas ↗Fossil-fuel divestment
Pledges to 'completely divest from fossil fuel companies' across equities, fixed income, and alternatives, arguing earlier divestment would have raised returns.
drewwarshaw.com · Ideas ↗Israel bonds & divestment
Would divest 'all foreign bonds,' singling out ~$368M in Israel bonds, arguing 'we cannot continue investing our public dollars in a government that is committing genocide.'
drewwarshaw.com · Ideas ↗Palantir, ICE & ethical investing
Would 'build an index that doesn't include Palantir,' divest from it, and audit Palantir and Clearview AI contracts for privacy and discriminatory impacts.
drewwarshaw.com · Ideas ↗Using the office: audits & oversight
Would use the office's 'massive audit authority to hold bad actors accountable,' including utilities and agencies he says go unexamined.
American Prospect ↗Affordability: utility bills & housing
Would co-invest pension capital to lower utilities' guaranteed profit margins ('the higher that return, the lower your bill') and create a $20B pension-funded affordable-housing program.
American Prospect ↗Unclaimed funds
Would 'automatically send you a check' for money owed from the ~$20B unclaimed fund, contrasting New York's low return rate with other states.
