Actuarial Assumption Details
Actuaries often select an asset valuation method that smooth the effects of short‐term volatility in the market value of assets. The actuarial value of assets is intended to give fund managers a more accurate picture of the fund’s ability to cover its liabilities.
Market Value of Assets: $3,394,988,979Actuarial Assumption Details
Actuarial Funded Ratio : 55.89%
The funded ratio is the value of a pension plan's assets, expressed as a percentage of the plan's total actuarial liability. For example, if the unfunded liability was zero, the funded ratio would be 100%, as the plan’s assets would be equivalent to its liabilities.
Market Funded Ratio: 64.11%
Amortization Period (Yrs) : 34
The amortization period is length of time required to eliminate a pension plan's unfunded liability based on current contributions from employers and active members. The Texas Pension Review Board has adopted guidelines that this period should never exceed 40 years, while the preferred range is 25 to 30 years. The arrows indicate whether the current amortization period is higher, lower or equal to the length of time reported in the prior reporting period.
Unfunded Liability : $1,900,952,826The unfunded liability is the amount of projected pension benefit obligations in excess of the value of assets.
