Strong 2021 Investment Return Brings IMRF's Funded Status to Nearly 100%
IMRF more than doubled its 7.25% investment target during the most recent fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, based on preliminary figures.
Financial Highlights:

During 2021, IMRF:

  • earned an investment return of 16.6%, after paying investment management fees.

  • grew its investment portfolio by $6.5 billion, from $50.3 billion as of December 31, 2020 to $56.8 billion as of December 31, 2021.

  • increased its actuarial funded status to 98.8%.
 
These figures are estimates and are unaudited. IMRF will share final figures in its Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.

IMRF Is Nearly 100% Funded
Funded status is a key barometer of a pension plan’s fiscal health. The typical U.S. pension plan is about 72.8% funded, according to the National Association of State Retirement Administrators. IMRF’s 98.8% funded status means it has on hand today nearly all the money needed to pay the entirety of its pension obligations to all current retirees as well as all active workers.

As an IMRF member, you can feel secure knowing that IMRF will deliver on all pension promises.
