Known as the “Capital of Silicon Valley,” the City of San José plays a vital economic and cultural role anchoring the world’s leading region of innovation. Encompassing 180 square miles at the southern tip of the San Francisco Bay, San José is Northern California’s largest city, third largest in the State, and the 10th largest city in the nation.

Unlike for other City Departments, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Investment Officer for ORS are hired and appointed by the Boards for the Federated and the Police and Fire Department Retirement Plan. There are approximately 15,300 active, retired and survivor participants that are served by the Office of Retirement Services. The Federated City Employees’ Retirement System currently holds assets valued at $3.3 billion and the assets of the Police and Fire Department Retirement Plan are currently valued at $5.0 billion.
