TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Trustees who oversee the Kansas Public Employee Retirement System have voted to halt future investments in Russian assets amid the country's invasion of Ukraine.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that while some board members initially pushed for a full divestment, others said they would rather focus on the future and noted the fund's current holdings in the country have been largely liquidated anyway.
Kansas has $36 million invested in Russian equities, as of Feb. 25. That accounts for about 0.14% of the pension fund's total investments.
