The Minnesota Legislature has established a seventeen member Investment Advisory Council (IAC) to advise the Board and its staff on investment-related matters. All proposed investment policies are reviewed by the IAC before they are presented to the Board for action.

IAC Mission Statement

The IAC fulfills its statutory duty to the Minnesota State Board of Investment (SBI) by providing advice and independent due diligence review of the investment policy and implementation recommendations that guide the SBI’s investment of assets.
