Public sector retirement systems are facing market volatility stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. During this webinar, we will hear from retirement systems directors and review previous research that examines financial downturns, Lessons From Well-Funded Public Pensions. Attendees will hear an update on retirement systems, as well as a discussion of how the health-driven COVID-19 crisis impacts retirement plans as compared to the housing-driven financial crisis. We also will revisit key elements of public sector defined benefit pension plans detailed in the report.
