State Treasurer Sarah Godlewski wants Wisconsin’s retirement fund to divest its $90 million worth of Russian assets.
Godlewski sent a letter to the State of Wisconsin Investment Board calling on it to immediately begin identifying any Russian holdings and make a plan to divest.
A spokesperson for the fund says less than one percent of the $147 billion fund for public retirees can be linked to any Russian assets.
It reportedly doesn’t directly hold any Russian stocks or bonds.
