    Investments

    Welcome to LASERS Investment Section. The LASERS trust is the source of all benefits paid to our members and their beneficiaries. LASERS is a long term investor managed by dedicated investment professionals and its Board of Trustees.

    The foundation of the System's strength and stability rests upon the diversification of plan assets and its long term view. We have great confidence in the soundness of our investment approach, making modest adjustments over time when appropriate, while never overreacting to any one year market return.

    Information included in this section is a detailed look at asset allocation, fund managers, and investment performance. For an easy to understand overview of LASERS investments, see the Investments FAQs page.

    Annual Investment Report
    Each year an Annual Investment Report is published that details LASERS asset allocation and investment performance as well as the practices in place to sustain our pension system.

    DROP Rate of Return
    The rate of interest to be paid on eligible (non-Self Directed Plan) DROP accounts for fiscal year that ended June 30, 2016 is 4.93 percent.

    The Public Retirement Systems' Actuarial Committee (PRSAC) approved the interest rate at its November 30, 2016 meeting.

    Participants in the Self Directed plan do not receive this interest, but participate in earnings or losses based upon the choices they have made in their investment allocations through Empower Retirement.
