Wyoming Retirement System

The WRS Board of Trustees is responsible for managing WRS’ assets and liabilities to keep the retirement plans financially sound and board members are required by law to act in the best financial interest of members.

In order to avoid the temptation to overreact to short term events in the market, the WRS Board generally evaluates investment performance over reasonably long time periods (5 to 10 years). However, the Board also evaluates performance relative to shorter term benchmarks which help to evaluate asset allocation decisions and the staff and investment consultant decisions.
