Calpers racks up third year of double-digit returns

Equities downturn sends French reserve fund to -2.3%

Calpers, the largest US pension fund, has made a 12.3% return on investments in the 12 months to June 30. It marks the third straight year the pension fund earned double-digit returns.

The $208bn fund generated about $8bn more in returns than it would have generated from its assumed rate of return of 7.75% – an annual target necessary to meet future member pension benefits.
