Achieved returns of 4.5%, compared to a 2.3% benchmark
The fund overcame multiple market challenges to post a 4.5% return for 2007, beating its composite benchmark for the eighth consecutive year. This outperformance is largely attributable to the real estate, private equity and infrastructure assets we acquired in recent years to diversify the total portfolio. This diversification allowed the plan to reduce its exposure to the volatility of public equity and fixed income markets.
