Financial Market Conditions
The recent volatility of the financial markets can make
investors of all types uneasy. It is important for MainePERS
members and retirees to keep in mind that a decline in the
stock market, or failure of a large bank, does not affect
the amount of one’s MainePERS defined benefit plan
retirement. The System Trustees operate under a carefully
constructed investment policy that they believe balances the
long range return on, and expected volatility of, the
System’s assets. A significant and sustained decline in
investment earnings over time would not affect retirement
benefits but could potentially result in a need for
additional funding of MainePERS.
More information may be found in the Fall 2008
MainePERSpective newsletter.
See the
Investment section for an overview of MainePERS
Investment plan and policy.
