Strong market return boosts TRSL assets to an all-time high

August 6, 2014

Baton Rouge – The Teachers’ Retirement System of Louisiana (TRSL) ended Fiscal Year 2013-14 with an 18.4% market rate of return (net of fees), bringing its assets to an all-time high of $16.9 billion.

“We are extremely pleased with the performance of the system’s investments,” said TRSL Director Maureen H. Westgard. “Thanks to the portfolio’s strong market return, TRSL assets are up $2.2 billion over last year.”

TRSL ranks in the top 12th percentile of public pension funds with assets exceeding $1 billion for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, according to Wilshire Trust Universe Comparison Service (TUCS)—the most widely accepted comparison service for public pension fund investment performance.

“Our equities really delivered in both the private and U.S. public space,” said Philip Griffith, TRSL chief investment officer. “Our asset allocation continues to provide diversification and strong returns.”
