The primary objective of the PSRS/PEERS investment program is to ensure that the Retirement System is financially stable, and that all members receive the financial security they have earned through their hard work and dedication to Missouri’s educational system.

The PSRS/PEERS investment portfolio represents all contributions to the plans from members and their employers, as well as all net earnings on those assets. The funds are used to pay current and future benefits to members and their families.

We are a long-term investor, and remain loyal to the tenets of investing that have been the foundation at PSRS/PEERS for many years. Specifically, we manage your assets with closely monitored levels of risk, in a diversified portfolio structured to withstand short-term shocks to the markets, yet positioned to provide consistent asset growth over time.

The PSRS/PEERS Board of Trustees has established a long-term goal to achieve a total investment return of at least 8% per year.
