State pension funds and communities in a state investment pool will save nearly $20 million in bank fees over two years through new contracts competitively bid by state Treasurer Kevin L. Boyce.Included in the deal is $32.6 billion in invested funds that had not previously been put out for bids. The contracts traditionally have been awarded at the discretion of past treasurers.
Many state officials get in hot water for failing to put contracts out for competitive bidding; Boyce said he is bidding out contracts that he doesn't have to.
"We felt that since 2009 was one of the worst years since the Great Depression, we needed to do things differently," Boyce said. "I said this administration is going to be about governing. We're going to set politics aside, because that's what the times require."
The four large state pension funds will be the biggest beneficiaries of savings, but the STAR Ohio fund - a money-market investment pool used by hundreds of Ohio cities, counties, townships and school districts - will save $3.7 million, or 53 percent, over two years, according to Amer Ahmad, deputy treasurer and chief financial officer.
The State Teachers Retirement System will have its cost drop from $8.5million to $2.3 million, a 73 percent reduction.
The savings resulted from competitively bid contracts that reduced business bank fees, which are the equivalent of fees that consumers are charged on checking and savings accounts.
In addition to the cost reductions, Boyce's office also negotiated a slightly higher interest rate for the STAR Ohio fund that is expected to generate an additional $2 million annually.
