The TRS headquarters building on Red River is closed to the public, and all counseling sessions are being conducting virtually or over the phone. As of today, this will continue through at least May 8, 2020 per the Governor\u2019s order.<\/p>\n<p>Guthrie reassured TRS members that all TRS staff have maintained production levels to ensure that there is no impact to members\u2019 monthly annuity payments. \u201cIt is business as usual, and we believe that we can sustain this for the next several months,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Covid-19 Has Impacted the Pension Fund<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Guthrie provided a report on the pension fund\u2019s investment activities. \u201cObviously, the markets have taken a hit,\u201d he said. However, he reassured board members that the fund\u2019s diversification protects it over the long-term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, the fund balance is hovering around $157 billion,\u201d Guthrie said, mentioning that in February of this year prior to the pandemic the fund was at $164 billion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour annuities are safe, and they are being paid on time,\u201d Guthrie stated. The market decline does not impact the trust\u2019s ability to pay benefits and has performed in line with expectations during the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Investment Officer Jase Auby said the estimated return for the first quarter of 2020 is negative 8.3 percent. He said TRS has key advantages as a large public pension fund that will allow it to push through the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are able to weather market drawdowns,\u201d said Auby, adding that the trust is \u201cwell-diversified and also liquid with large amounts of cash, government bonds and public equities available to meet its obligations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Auby also stated that the ability for the Investment Management Division (IMD) to work from home is another advantage. The transition was \u201cpretty much seamless\u201d and the team is responding opportunistically to the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bottom line is our plans (for handling down markets) are working exactly as we intended,\u201d said Auby.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunset Advisory Commission Staff Report on TRS Now Available<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Guthrie then discussed the results of the Sunset Advisory Commission report on TRS. The Sunset Advisory Commission is an agency of the Texas Legislature that evaluates state agencies and makes recommendations to the legislature on the need for, performance of, and improvements to agencies under review. TRS has been under review by the commission since late 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The commission released its report earlier in the month about the agency\u2019s operations. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sunset.texas.gov\/public\/uploads\/files\/reports\/Teacher%20Retirement%20System%20of%20Texas%20Staff%20Report_04-02-20_1.pdf\">The full report may be read here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The report identified four issues and included 14 recommendations.<\/p>\n<p><u>Issue 1 \u2013 TRS Needs to Repair Its Relationship with Its Members by Focusing on Their Needs<\/u>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Recommendations: 1.1 Require TRS to develop a communication and outreach plan to better help members and employers plan for retirement. 1.2 Require TRS to make improved efforts to return contributions to inactive members before funds are forfeit. 1.3 Direct TRS to adopt a member engagement policy to increase transparency on key decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Issue 2 \u2013 TRS Needs More Effective Contract Management and Oversight<\/u>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Recommendations: 2.1 Direct TRS to fully centralize contracting functions and clarify roles and responsibilities between central contracts department staff and division staff managing contracts. 2.2 Direct TRS to enhance its contract monitoring process. 2.3 Direct TRS to include standard remedies in contracts and consistently apply enforcement tools. 2.4 Direct TRS to require staff who procure or manage contracts to complete the comptroller\u2019s contract training.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Issue 3 \u2013 As One of the Largest Public Pension Funds in the U.S., TRS Would Benefit from Additional Oversight and Greater Transparency of Its Investment Practices<\/u>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Recommendations: 3.1 Direct TRS to perform a cost-benefit analysis of implementing an enhanced investment accounting system to provide increased oversight of the custodian bank\u2019s accounting data. 3.2 Direct TRS to have its Internal Investment Committee review internal investments and strategies. 3.3 Direct TRS to include clear, easily understandable information about alternative investments in its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Issue 4 \u2013 TRS\u2019 Statutes Do Not Reflect Some Standard Elements of Sunset Reviews<\/u>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Recommendations: 4.1 Update the standard across-the-board requirement related to board member training. 4.2 Abolish three, modify two, and consolidate two of TRS\u2019 reporting requirements. 4.3 Update TRS\u2019 statute to reflect the requirements of the person-first respectful language initiative. 4.4 Direct TRS to develop and maintain a system for receiving and responding to complaints.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cFor the most part, we agree with their recommendations,\u201d Guthrie said. He said that most recommendations don\u2019t require legislation to be enacted. TRS is working on implementing many of them already and will have several improved systems in place by the end of the calendar year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do need to improve our communications with our members and reassure them that we are working for them every day and in their best interests,\u201d Guthrie said.<\/p>\n<p>The TRS management response to the report is due April 30. There will be a public hearing about the review. The commission is tentatively looking at adding TRS to their July 8-9, 2020 schedule and the date is subject to change.<\/p>\n<p>TRS also plans to address several issues included in their Self-Evaluation Report in their appropriations request for the upcoming 2021 legislative session and with legislators. These include Employment After Retirement, Disability Retirement Requirements, Enhancing Investment Flexibility: Real Estate Provisions, and TRS-Care and TRS-ActiveCare Affordability and Viability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Long-Term Facilities Planning Update: Leases at Indeed Tower and 816 Congress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Covid-19 pandemic has changed real estate markets, and there has been a halt in new office leasing activity across the TRS portfolio. Timing and potential costs of subleasing the Indeed Tower have changed.<\/p>\n<p>Guthrie said that the efforts regarding long-term facilities planning has \u201cpaused.\u201d He said that even after the pandemic, working from home will be \u201cfar more significant,\u201d and he expects 10 to 20 percent of TRS employees to continue to work from home.<\/p>\n<p>TRS\u2019s plan to increase their leased space at the 816 Congress location where the Investment Division has been housed for several years is also at a standstill. No further work can be done on the 816 Congress lease renewal until markets have stabilized because the negotiated rental rate was based on a market conditions prior to the pandemic. However, due to the recession, lower real estate values may mean lower rental rates. TRS hopes to know more by their July board meeting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tim Lee Hosts Facebook Live Answering Member Questions on WEP Reform<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tim Lee, the Texas Retired Teachers Association\u2019s (TRTA) Executive Director, hosted a Facebook Live event today.
