California's attorney general sued State Street
 |
The lawsuit contends that State Street Bank and Trust overcharged the California Public Employees' Retirement System, or CalPERS, and the California State Teachers' Retirement System, or CalSTRS, for the costs of executing foreign currency trades since 2001, Attorney General Jerry Brown said in a statement.
Brown's office estimated that the overcharges exceeded $56.6 million.
The lawsuit seeks to recover triple damages, civil penalties and other costs. The lawsuit was unsealed by a Sacramento Superior Court judge, Brown said.
State Street spokeswoman Hannah Grove said: "We categorically deny any allegations of wrongdoing and will defend ourselves against any litigation."
CalPERS oversees $190.4 billion of assets and manages retirement benefits for 1.6 million state workers, according to its website.
