Plan for your retirement with our Online Calculators |
---|
As a member of the Delaware Public Employees' Retirement System (DPERS) you are participating in a Defined Benefit Plan, and your retirement benefits are paid out to you regardless of market events. When you retired DPERS calculated your monthly pension benefit based on various factors such as years of service and salary, not investment results. DPERS takes responsibility for the management and investment of the trust fund and understands that markets will fluctuate. DPERS investment policy seeks to minimize risk and provide returns over the long term.
Over the last year, the Board of Trustees (Board) of DPERS, through its Investment Committee, has taken material steps to protect the asset value of the investment portfolio. During these challenging market conditions, the Board, Investment Committee, and consultants are constantly monitoring DPERS’ investment portfolio. It is important to remember that DPERS is a long-term investor with a time horizon that lasts over decades and that the investment portfolio is well diversified in many different asset classes.
