State Treasurer Curtis Loftis

Columbia, SC – (October 30, 2025) State Treasurer Curtis Loftis announced today that the State Treasurer’s Office investments generated $1.7 billion in earnings over the past year, delivering direct support for schools, roads, public safety, and local governments across South Carolina.

“This $1.7 Billion benefits the taxpayers in the form of stronger schools, safer communities, and better infrastructure,” said Treasurer Loftis. “We don’t chase risky bets or play politics with your dollars. We invest carefully, monitor constantly, and deliver results.”

Since taking office in 2011, Treasurer Loftis has emphasized transparency, accountability and sound financial principles in managing the state’s investment portfolio. He has consistently applied the same discipline that banks use when investing their own funds: focusing on safety, liquidity, and strong returns. 

Treasurer Loftis credited the office’s experienced investment team for consistently achieving strong returns while maintaining fiscal discipline.

“This performance didn’t happen overnight,” Loftis added. “It is the result of more than a decade of sound strategy. I’m proud of our staff, whose expertise ensures that taxpayer dollars are protected and put to work for the people. Even as the state addresses accounting challenges elsewhere, our office has kept our books balanced, maintained clean audits, and protected South Carolina’s strong credit ratings. The state’s financial future is brighter because of the foundation we’ve built, and together we will keep it strong for generations to come.”
