Wisconsin is home to many successful businesses, ranging from small, family-owned companies passed on from one generation to another, to billion-dollar global operations. By finding opportunities in Wisconsin, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB) is proud to have partnered with many of those businesses to help them write their success stories. SWIB’s investments in Wisconsin have generated solid returns with acceptable levels of risk. Not only has this supported the state’s economy by helping businesses create jobs and thrive in Wisconsin, but it has also benefitted trust funds managed by SWIB, including the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS), which provides retirement benefits for more than 594,000 retired and active public employees.
