The state retirement and investment office may develop an incentive compensation program for full-time equivalent investment and fiscal operations positions necessary for the management of the investment of funds under the control of the state investment board. The program must promote profitability, productivity, and responsible fund management. The provisions of the program must be approved annually by the state investment board. The provisions must ensure that the payouts do not occur unless the risk-based performance of the investments that are internally managed exceed the risk-based performance of policy benchmarks. Any amounts paid under this program must be considered compensation and not personal profit on behalf of the employee. Each interim, the state retirement and investment office shall provide at least one report to the legislative management regarding the status of the program, including the provisions of the program; the total amount of incentives paid out to employees each year; and the minimum, maximum, and average payout per eligible full-time equivalent position.
