8.7 % return is not a bad return in this up and down market. I noticed the teachers have a separate system than other Bd of Ed Employees, Why?
Hi Jim,
The NYC Pension Funds operate on a fiscal year ending June 30th; the 8.7% return is based on the fiscal year. I do not really know the history of the TRS NYC and NYCBERS.
If you read the comments section of Crains New York, you’ll see a lot of jealousy regarding public employee pensions.
The table in the The Center Square article says NYC Fire pension is only about 63% funded, in the bottom quarter of the funds they examined. Do you have any info on the state of NYCPPF’s state?

Thanks,
NYCPPF’s funded ratio is 71.6%.
