The justification for this change stems from the experience study of the fund over the past five years, and projections about the economy and investment returns over the next five years. This study, which considers how assumptions compare to actual fund performance, is mandated by law.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of state pension systems across the nation that have performed experience studies have lowered their assumptions. If TRS lowers the rate of return assumption, a significant increase in the pension fund\u2019s unfunded liabilities will occur. The Texas Legislature will then be asked to increase their contribution rate to help the fund return to a funding period of 31 years or less to meet the statutory definition of actuarial soundness. TRTA will report on the effects of this decision following the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>TRTA\u2019s state officers and Executive Director, Tim Lee, will be present at the meeting and will address the board regarding the implications and possible policy and funding issues associated with this change. Several members of TRTA are also expected to attend and provide public testimony. TRTA will keep its members updated on any changes that are approved by the TRS Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"null\">Gracias<\/h2>\n<p><em>La l\u00ednea interior<\/em> is a free service of TRTA, provided to you to keep you informed on current issues and events that impact your life.
