Exclusive: CalSTRS Names Private Equity Investment Chief
The California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) has named Margot Wirth as its new head of alternative investments, peHUB has learned. The position had been empty since early last year, when longtime alternatives chief Réal Desrochers resigned. Wirth and Seth Hall -- both private equity portfolio managers -- had been serving as interim co-heads. Wirth originally joined CalSTRS in 2001, before which she was a valuation consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers in New York and San Francisco. She also served as a vice president at an environmentally-conscious residential real estate developer in the Washington, D.C. area.
