At CPG, we are responsible for helping people prepare for retirement, protect their health, manage property and liability risk, and expand their horizons through books, music, and other content. It’s important work that requires focused effort and expertise. We make every effort to recruit and develop diverse teams with the highest standards in mind, because every person at CPG contributes to the quality of care and support that we offer our clients and to the depth of relationships we enjoy around the Church.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are critical to our ability to anticipate and respond to ever-changing needs. DEI gives us an operational advantage and is the right thing to do. Our commitment to DEI is unwavering. In 2023, people of color comprised 46% of full-time employees, 54% of new hires, and 58% of promotions at CPG. We are proud of these numbers but even more proud of the values and commitment they prove.
A Spotlight on the Investment Department
The Investment team at CPG is responsible for generating the investment returns needed to cover the cost of benefits and other related expenses for decades to come. Their work requires expertise in different asset classes and experience under different market conditions. At CPG, we are fortunate to have experienced leaders in investments who have a long-term commitment to CPG and its vision. Collectively, the 10 most senior members of the Investment Department have worked at CPG for more than 150 years, and they average 25 years of experience in the investment industry. CPF’s assets are in very good hands.
While the entire Investment team shares responsibility for the CPF portfolio, specialized groups within the team handle particular asset classes, such as fixed income and public equity, as well as other functions, including operations and risk. Three team members work from our Hong Kong office, bringing this distinct perspective into the investment process. All this experience goes into the Investment Department’s work in identifying attractive asset classes, selecting outside investment managers, and mitigating the risks inherent in global investing.
The Investment Department cultivates a collaborative, supportive environment committed to the growth of next-generation talent. CPG recruits analysts and associates with demonstrated intellectual and professional ability. They support our investment decision making through quantitative skills and data analysis, due diligence, qualitative research, and information management.
CPG’s financial strength is an outcome of this team’s strength and focus. We are honored to call them colleagues.
