Long-Term Sustainability Is Our Principal Focus
By Anne Stausboll, CalPERS CEO
Defined benefit plans are the cornerstone of retirement security. For employees, they’re a solid path to a predictable income and peace of mind in retirement. For employers, they’re an important and cost-effective tool for recruitment and retention.
They are also a financial engine that generates more than $30 billion dollars in economic activity across the state every year stimulating business growth, tax receipts, and jobs for our communities.
This is why our principal focus is to ensure the long-term sustainability of the CalPERS fund. Although the economy has stabilized and the financial markets have rebounded, it’s still fragile. Over the last few years, we have taken many steps to reposition our investment portfolio and strengthen our infrastructure, risk management, and controls. Our funded level, the ratio of assets to accrued liabilities, has increased as well. From a low of around 60 percent during the financial crisis it is now estimated to be around 77 percent.
