KPERS board settles $1.1 million Wichita case
The Kansas Public Employees Retirement System Board of Trustees accepted a $250,000 settlement from the Wichita firm Trippler Wolfe and Garrettson, settling a six year suit over a $1.1 million investment in Christopher Steel Corp. This brings KPERS total recoveries in the matter to $2.6 million. The case arose from a mid-1980s direct placement program later phased out after heavy losses, including a $65 million write-off in Home Savings Association.
