Overseeing Texas’
Public Retirement
Systems
-
The Texas Pension Review Board (PRB) requires TCDRS to create and publish an Investment Return and Assumptions Report (PRB-1000).
-
The report shows our actual rate of investment return and our assumed rate of return over the 10 most recent fiscal years, as well as our annualized rolling rate of return. This report is updated annually.
-
We also provide the PRB with our Investment Policy and Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
