At MOSERS, we are focused on ensuring the long-term stability of our member’s benefits. The MOSERS Board and staff continually monitor economic trends and actively engage with policymakers on legislative developments at the federal and state levels. Just last week, at the February 21, 2025, MOSERS Board meeting, our external Board Investment Consultant provided an analysis of key market drivers, including interest rates, inflation expectations, and potential shifts in trade policy.

While we monitor emerging trends, our focus is on long-term goals, and our diversified investment portfolio is designed to weather the volatility of the financial markets over the long term. Furthermore, the Board has also made significant changes to the MOSERS funding policy over the past few years. A key change includes the adoption of a 32% minimum employer contribution rate. The policy is designed to increase the plan’s funded status more rapidly, albeit gradually, than without the policy.
