CalSTRS investing $500M in global infrastructure
The California State Teachers? Retirement System is investing $500 million in global infrastructure with an Australian-based fund. The teachers? pension fund has teamed with Melbourne, Australia-based Industry Funds Management Pty. Ltd. to invest in utilities, roads, ports and pipelines. This investment sector is promising for CalSTRS because it addresses issues that emerged during the global economic crisis of the past few years. ?What the recent economic crisis demonstrated was the need for greater diversification in our investment portfolio, in areas that would also serve as a hedge against inflation,? said Harry Keiley, chairman of the CalSTRS Investment Committee, in a statement...<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=Z9P-7qiWebU:KUYUVsfdiS8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=Z9P-7qiWebU:KUYUVsfdiS8:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?i=Z9P-7qiWebU:KUYUVsfdiS8:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=Z9P-7qiWebU:KUYUVsfdiS8:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?i=Z9P-7qiWebU:KUYUVsfdiS8:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=Z9P-7qiWebU:KUYUVsfdiS8:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div>
Toyota posts lower Q3 profit but raises outlook
Toyota Motor Corp. raised its forecast for fiscal 2012 profit by 11 percent, to $2.6 billion. Bloomberg reports that the forecast still falls short of analysts' expectations, but it reflects confidence after last year's results were hurt by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan and flooding in Thailand. Meanwhile, Toyota (NYSE: TM) reported that net income for its third quarter, ended in December, fell 14 percent, according to the report. The company's United States sales arm, Toyota Motor Sales U...<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=Bze_oFj8R6k:K0D83MepS2o:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=Bze_oFj8R6k:K0D83MepS2o:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?i=Bze_oFj8R6k:K0D83MepS2o:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=Bze_oFj8R6k:K0D83MepS2o:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?i=Bze_oFj8R6k:K0D83MepS2o:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=Bze_oFj8R6k:K0D83MepS2o:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div>
California?s gay marriage ban ruled unconstitutional
<img src='http://assets.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/news/wedding-rings-4*100.jpg?v=2'>A federal appeals court ruled California?s same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional, paving the way for a likely U.S. Supreme Court showdown. A three-judge panel on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled 2-1 today that a lower court judge interpreted the U.S. Constitution correctly two years ago when he declaring the ban, known as Proposition 8, to be a violation of the civil rights of gays and lesbians. The measure passed with 52 percent of the vote in 2008. It outlawed same-sex unions just five months after they became legal in California...<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=5X3EGrAi0oI:Oy_pZNk-wqY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=5X3EGrAi0oI:Oy_pZNk-wqY:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?i=5X3EGrAi0oI:Oy_pZNk-wqY:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=5X3EGrAi0oI:Oy_pZNk-wqY:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?i=5X3EGrAi0oI:Oy_pZNk-wqY:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=5X3EGrAi0oI:Oy_pZNk-wqY:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div>
CalSTRS eyes Zuckerberg's Facebook control
<img src='http://assets.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2010/12/06/MarkZuckerberg.jpg?v=1'>The California State Teachers' Retirement System reportedly wants a word with Facebook Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg over his dominant voting power in the company he founded. The fund is a Facebook investor and it may jump into the debate over whether Zuckerberg's 56.9 percent voting power among shareholders places too much control in the hands of one person at a publicly held company. "We are in fact in the beginning stages of engagement with Facebook," a spokesman for the fund known as Calstrs told Bloomberg...<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=bFgfaUOkgAM:rJ1kvt5i_uU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=bFgfaUOkgAM:rJ1kvt5i_uU:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?i=bFgfaUOkgAM:rJ1kvt5i_uU:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=bFgfaUOkgAM:rJ1kvt5i_uU:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?i=bFgfaUOkgAM:rJ1kvt5i_uU:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?a=bFgfaUOkgAM:rJ1kvt5i_uU:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bizj_losangeles?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div>
