Page 22 August 19, 2014
Item No. 17 Page 2 of 3
• DMTRS FY 2014-2015 Expense Budget: The recommended DMTRS budget for
(1) Unaudited. (2) Actual cost dependent on market value of portfolio.
• Determination of the rate of actual new earnings (guaranteed interest rate) for FY 2014-2015: Section 8.10 of the DMTRS rules reads as follows:
“Each year the board of trustees shall calculate the interest on the mean amount for the preceding year and earning distributions. At a regular meeting, held between July 1 and September 1 of each year, the board shall determine the rate of actual net earnings on investments of the Plan for the preceding Plan year and shall allocate such rate of interest as in its judgment may appear fair and equitable, said interest to be compounded annually. The amount so allowed shall be due and payable to said funds and shall annually be credited thereto by the board from interest and other earnings on the moneys, properties, and other assets of the Plan.”
The investment earnings of the DMTRS for the year ended June 30, 2014, to be distributed is:
Interest on bonds $ 9,157,333 Dividends on stock 1,510,731 Realized gains/losses on sale of securities 2,100,225 Investment income for 2013-2014 $12,768,289
August 19, 2014 Page 23
Item No. 17 Page 3 of 3
The BTC Capital Management rate of return on fixed income investments was 6.5% for the year ending June 30, 2014. Incorporating the benchmark, long term outlook, and based on the return, plan management feels that 5% is reasonable for the plan and stays consistent with prior periods. Analysis of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, shows that the amortization of realized net gains/losses on the sale of securities has provided minimal increased gains over the prior year. Excess Earnings: Per the plan document, excess earnings are defined as net plan earnings less the allocation to active participants less the allocation to retired participants. In FY14 the negative plan contingency reserve may require additional district funding made directly to the plan. Additional information is available in the actuarial report. This deficit balance has lead the plan to the position of being unable to declare excess earnings for the first time in plan history.
Robert Hopson, actuary for the retirement system, Thomas Harper and Nick Lenhardt, administrators for the retirement system, have reviewed the earnings of the DMTRS for the fiscal year June 30, 2014, and, based upon the investment earnings and plan-defined rules, have determined the earnings rate for fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, to be 5.0%.
