19 Program Overview The State offers three defined contribution programs where beneficiaries make investment decisions for their own account based on a menu of options provided by the State. These programs, and their statutory references, are as follows: Assets in Defined Contribution Plans Total Assets: $4.6 billion September 30, 2013 (in millions) Deferred Compensation, $714, 16% Supplemental Benefits System (PERS only): AS Deferred Compensation (PERS only): AS Defined Contribution Retirement Program: AS , AS ARMB Powers and Duties: AS Supplemental Benefits System, $3,333, 73% PERS Retirement Plan, $376, 8% TRS Retirement Plan, $161, 3% These programs are managed collaboratively by the Department of Administration and the Department of Revenue. Generally speaking, the Department of Revenue oversees the investments and the investment menu structure and the Department of Administration oversees the record keeping and administration of the participant accounts. ARMB s responsibility is to provide a range of investment options and establish the rules by which participants can direct their investments among those options with respect to accounts established under the defined contribution programs (AS (a)(5)). For SBS and the Deferred Compensation program, statute requires ARMB to consult with the Commissioner of Administration before making a decision if ARMB is entering or modifying a management or investment contract. ARMB has established a Defined Contribution Committee which includes at least three Trustees. The Committee has the authority to research, review and recommend policies and procedures that it believes may be beneficial to the members of the retirement systems, or that represent best practices, or that result in efficient administration of the defined contribution plan for public employee members and teachers. The Committee makes recommendations to ARMB for final approval and adoption of any proposed changes. Department of Revenue 19
