CITY OF EUGENE, OREGON <br />Notes to Basic Financial Statements <br />continued <br />(5) Other Information, continued <br />(C) Retirement Plan – Oregon PERS (OPERS), continued <br />Long-Term Expected Rate of Return <br />To develop an analytical basis for the selection of the long-term expected rate of return assumption, in July 2015 the <br />PERS Board reviewed long-term assumptions developed by both Milliman’s capital market assumptions team and the <br />Oregon Investment Council’s (OIC) investment advisors. The table below shows Milliman’s assumptions for each of <br />the asset classes in which the plan was invested at that time based on the OIC long-term target asset allocation. The <br />OIC’s description of each asset class was used to map the target allocation to the asset classes. <br />Each asset class assumption is based on a consistent set of underlying assumptions and includes adjustment for the <br />inflation assumption. These assumptions are not based on historical returns, but instead are based on a forward- <br />looking capital market economic model. <br />Low High <br />Asset class/Strategy Range Range Target <br />Cash 0.0% 3.0% 0.0% <br />Debt Securities 15.0% 25.0% 20.0% <br />Public Equity 32.5% 42.5% 37.5% <br />Private Equity 13.5% 21.5% 17.5% <br />Real Estate 9.5% 15.5% 12.5% <br />Alternative Equity 0.0% 12.5% 12.5% <br />Opportunity Portfolio 0.0% 3.0% 0.0% <br />Total 100.0% <br />Compound <br />annual <br />return <br />Asset class Target (geometric) <br />Core fixed income 8.00%3.49% <br />Short-term bonds 8.00%3.38% <br />Bank/Leveraged loans 3.00%5.09% <br />High yield bonds 1.00%6.45% <br />Large/Mid cap US equities 15.75%6.30% <br />Small cap US equities 1.30%6.69% <br />Micro cap US equities 1.30%6.80% <br />Developed foreign equities 13.13%6.71% <br />Emerging foreign equities 4.12%7.45% <br />Non-US small cap equities 1.88%7.01% <br />Private equity 17.50%7.82% <br />Real estate (Property) 10.00%5.51% <br />Real estate (REITS) 2.50%6.37% <br />Hedge fund of funds - diversified 2.50%4.09% <br />Hedge fund - event-driven 0.63%5.86% <br />Timber 1.88%5.62% <br />Farmland 1.88%6.15% <br />Infrastructure 3.75%6.60% <br />Commodities 1.88%3.84% <br />100.00% <br />Assumed inflation – mean 2.50% <br />70 <br />December 9, 2019, Meeting - Item 2CCC Agenda - Page 114
