Trustees honor Robert White as investment leader; adopt ceremonial resolution
Summary
The San Jose Retirement Board adopted a ceremonial resolution recognizing Robert White’s eight years leading the police and fire retirement plan, citing funding-ratio improvements and asset growth; trustees and White exchanged brief remarks and the resolution was approved by voice vote.
The San Jose Retirement Board adopted a ceremonial resolution honoring Robert White for his eight years of leadership and stewardship of the police and fire retirement plan. Trustees credited White with a turnaround in funding and investments, citing an improvement in funding ratios from roughly 76% to about 88% and plan assets rising from approximately $3.5 billion to $5.9 billion as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.
Trustee Santos introduced the resolution (identified in the meeting materials as resolution 484) and the motion was seconded; trustees then offered personal remarks thanking White for governance, succession planning and building an investment team. In response, Robert White offered brief remarks of thanks and said he would remain available to the board as an advisor.
Why it matters: Trustees said the changes in plan governance and investment policy under White’s tenure materially strengthened retirement security for public-safety employees and retirees. The board adopted the resolution by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
What’s next: The board held a small post-meeting acknowledgment (photo/recognition) and moved on to regular business.
