Guaranteed Fund rate set at 3.5
percent
Members who
invest annuity savings account (ASA) funds in PERF's
Guaranteed Fund will earn an annual return of 3.5
percent beginning July 1, 2009. Previously, this
investment option paid 6 percent. The rate is set
annually by PERF's board of trustees.
"With the
extreme market challenges of the past year, the
Guaranteed Fund has offered members a safe haven for
their retirement savings with a solid return," said PERF
Executive Director Terren Magid. "While the market
conditions will not allow the same level of return as
last year, we're pleased to offer a return that is as
good as or better than members could find in a similar
investment product elsewhere."
Under the PERF
plan, at least 3 percent of a member's salary must be
contributed to his or her ASA. The Guaranteed Fund is
one of six investment options available to PERF members
via their ASA. Other investment options include a Money
Market Fund, Bond Fund, S&P 500 Stock Index Fund,
U.S. Small Companies Stock Fund and an International
Equity Index Fund.
PERF members may change
investment options quarterly. This may be done via PERF
Online , or by submitting a signed Investment
Direction Form. The investment direction must be
received by PERF no later than 30 days prior to the
beginning of the following quarter.
