Pension Fund Sustainability

SERS’ pension fund is designed to be sustainable and adaptive to meet the needs of its members, employers, and retirees.

To maintain sustainability and adaptability, the SERS Board of Trustees began regular discussions on plan design to ensure the System is in the position to withstand changes in member demographics, investment experience, and financial pressures.
