Celebrating Five Years of Peer Collaboration
Thursday, 5 March, 2026

GPFA Board Members Chris Benish (SWIB), Rob Goobie (HOOPP), Mike Johnson (CalPERS), and Jerry May (OPERS) sit down to celebrate the association's fifth anniversary and reflect on its evolution from buy side conference conversations into a volunteer led, global not for profit. They discuss GPFA's expansion from a focus on securities lending to a broader securities financing mindset, supported by cross disciplinary working groups that drive its initiatives. With more than 40 global members representing over $11T in assets, they look forward to what the next five years will bring.
