Investment

LAFPP is reporting a return of 13.27% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. LAFPP assets totaled $20.64 billion at the end of the fiscal year.

The double-digit return earned during this fiscal year was led by LAFPP’s strong performance in the domestic and international equity markets, which generated returns of 19.30% and 22.90% respectively.

The 13.27% return is well above the Fund’s actuarial assumed rate of return of 7.25%, which is the long-term return required to meet current and future obligations for members. Our 10-year investment return is 5.55%, and the 20-year return is 7.28%. We have a long-term investment horizon and use an asset allocation which encompasses a strategic long-term perspective of the capital markets.
