ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS <br /> <br />The total pension liability in the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuation was determined using an individual entry-age normal <br />actuarial cost method and the following actuarial assumptions: <br /> <br />Inflation 2.25% per year <br />Investment Rate of Return 7.00% <br /> <br />The long-term investment rate of return is based on a review of inflation and investment return assumptions from a number of <br />national investment consulting firms. The review provided a range of investment return rates deemed to be reasonable by the <br />actuary. An investment return of 7.00% was deemed to be within that range of reasonableness for financial reporting <br />purposes. <br /> <br />Benefit increases after retirement are assumed to be 1.25% for the GERF and 1.00% for the PEPFF. <br />Salary growth assumptions in the GERF range in annual increments from 10.25% after one year of service to 3.0% after 27 <br />years of service. In the PEPFF, salary growth assumptions range from 11.75% after one year of service to 3.0% after 24 <br />years of service. <br /> <br />Mortality rates for GERF were based on the Pub-2010 General Employee Mortality Table. Mortality rates for PEPFF were <br />based on the Pub-2010 Public Safety Employee Mortality tables. The tables are adjusted slightly to fit PERA’s experience. <br /> <br />Actuarial assumptions for GERF are reviewed every four years. The most recent four-year experience study for GERF was <br />completed in 2022. The assumption changes were adopted by the Board and become effective with the July 1, 2023 actuarial <br />valuation. The most recent four-year experience study for PEPFF was completed in 2020 and adopted by the Board and <br />became effective with the July 1, 2021 actuarial valuation. <br /> <br />The following changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions occurred in 2023: <br /> <br />General Employees Fund <br />Changes in Actuarial Assumptions: <br /> The investment return assumption and single discount rate were changed from 6.50% to 7.00%. <br /> <br />67 <br />74
