At TCDRS, we like to take a long-term view of our investment returns, but we also keep a sharp eye on the short term.
Here are our returns so far for 2018. Our 2017 return information is available in Recent Activity.
This chart of our performance during the year requires the use of estimated returns for several asset classes whose returns we only receive monthly or quarterly. When the actual returns are known, this chart will be updated to reflect them, meaning that it will often look different from the last time you may have viewed it.
