2019 Annual ETF and SWIB Update
More than 632,000 people look to the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) to help provide for their retirement. The State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB) is the state agency responsible for investing the assets of the retirement system. David Villa, SWIB's new Executive Director/Chief Investment Officer and Rochelle Klaskin, Deputy Executive Director/Chief Administrative Officer will explain the challenges facing SWIB and WRS, the impact investment volatility can have on WRS participants, SWIB’s investment strategy, and other initiatives SWIB is implementing to protect the WRS investment.
The Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF) is the state agency that administers retirement, insurance, and other benefit programs for active state and local employees and for retirees participating in the WRS. Robert Conlin, Secretary of ETF will share projections for future Core and Variable fund annuity adjustments and talk about the important levers that keep the WRS nearly 100 percent funded and able to pay promised benefits.
