Dear Friend,

As the weather gets warmer and we emerge from the most challenging spring our state has faced in many years, I am pleased to report that our office continues to deliver results for Rhode Islanders.

Here are a few recent announcements:

• The Rhode Island pension system outperformed 95% of public pensions in the country during the Covid-19 market decline. Our Back to Basics investment strategy saved the state hundreds of millions of dollars, preserving retirement security for tens of thousands of Rhode Islanders.
   
• After passing the Rhode Island Student Loan Bill of Rights, in conjunction with the Attorney General’s Office we launched a new Student Loan Borrower Protection website to provide Rhode Islanders with the tools they need to pay down their student loans and deal effectively with loan companies.
   
• To help Rhode Islanders during Covid-19, we have launched a series of virtual town halls. Our next town hall is focused on helping parents manage the Covid-19 crisis. Join us Wednesday, June 3^rd at 5:30 PM for Parenting During Covid-19, featuring Dr. Emily Oster. You can register here.

The Office of the General Treasurer remains fully operational, and I remain personally committed to doing everything possible to assist Rhode Islanders who are struggling during the Covid-19 crisis. Together, we will get through this.
