01 · Background

Who Missouri Public School is.

Historical Background
The Public School Retirement System of Missouri (PSRS) was established by the Public School Retirement Act of Missouri, which was signed into law in May 1945 and became effective on July 1, 1946. Missouri was the 47th state to enact legislation creating a statewide retirement system for teachers. The Public Education Employee Retirement System (PEERS) was later established as a separate system for public school employees who are not certificated.
Source of Capital
The institution is a defined benefit pension plan, providing lifetime retirement, disability, and survivor benefits. Capital is derived from contributions made by its members (public school employees) and their employers, supplemented by income from the system's investments. All assets for both PSRS and PEERS are held in the Missouri Education Pension Trust (MEPT).
Allocation Strategy
The system invests across a diversified range of asset classes, including public equity, fixed income, private equity, real estate, and hedge funds. The asset allocation is reviewed at least every five years in conjunction with plan liabilities to ensure the long-term funding of pension obligations.
