RETIREES OPPOSE LENDING CALPERS TRUST FUNDS IN SECRET

Letter to assembly member Jim cooper

From the desk of Al Darby:
Recent stock market gains have improved the funded status of CalPERS pension assets to approximately 78%.  This is a welcome improvement after several years of weaker funded levels.  Rating firms (Moodys, S&P and Fitch) consider public pensions healthy at 80% funded status.  Striving for 100% funding remains the goal of any pension fund.  

Al Darby, VP

RPEA fights for the well-being of its members in retirement. How? RPEA retains a professional lobbyist who represents our interest before the Governor, Legislators and CalPERS Board. We also have access to a federal lobbyist who keeps us informed on federal retiree issues. Plus we partner with organizations like Association Member Benefits & Insurance Agency (AMBA) to provide quality insurance plans at great group rates.
