CalSTRS Popular Annual Financial Report 2017 3

outlined in the actuarial experience study. This also included additional changes to various economic and demographic factors, such as inflation assumptions and improved mortality rates. All of these factors, in addition to the return assumptions and overall fund performance, work in tandem to make an impact on the forward movement toward the plan funding goal.

Ongoing Progress on Defined Benefit Plan Funding

CalSTRS continues to make progress on the July 2014 funding plan, set into motion via Chapter 47, Statutes of 2014 (Assembly Bill 1469—Bonta), which established a predictable schedule of contribution rate increases shared between members, the state and employers over a 32-year span. A snapshot of the Defined Benefit Program’s assets and liabilities as reported in the June 30, 2016, actuarial valuation (released in April 2017) reflected an increase of $20.5 billion in the unfunded liability, currently at $96.7 billion. This increase was anticipated and occurred primarily due to the adoption of the lower investment return assumption and an increase in member life expectancies. These changes also caused a decrease in the system’s funding ratio—the ratio of the smoothed actuarial value of assets to pension obligations—from 68.5 percent to 63.7 percent. Despite the declines in funding levels, a future upswing is projected with a steady ascent toward full funding, according to the parameters of the long-term funding plan.

Transforming Sustainability for the Future

CalSTRS continues to maintain our sustainability commitment by balancing the challenges of managing assets and liabilities, investment gains and losses, and operational growth; all in an effort to ultimately create long-term value. And just as it is mission-critical for CalSTRS to provide a defined benefit retirement for vested members who dedicated their careers to educating California’s youth, we also proactively take steps to provide members with financial tools and resources so they understand the importance of early retirement planning to meet their own personal financial needs well into the future. For a complete understanding of CalSTRS’ performance and sustainability milestones, this PAFR should be reviewed in conjunction with our annual Global Reporting Initiative sustainability report titled Global Stewardship at Work. This report can be found online at CalSTRS.com/sustainability-reports.

Respectfully submitted,

Chief Executive Officer

Sustainability for the Future

Since 1913, CalSTRS has grown significantly, from representing a little over 15,000 members, to now serving more than 930,000 dedicated California educators. In accordance with our mission, CalSTRS consistently upholds our fiduciary duty to be principled and effective within our operations in

order to secure the retirement futures for our members and their beneficiaries over the next century and beyond. As a global institutional investor with a staff of 1,152 employees and portfolio assets of $208.7 billion as of June 30, 2017, CalSTRS models best practices in retirement planning education for our members, adhering to innovative corporate governance principles, and exercising our role as an active shareowner through engagement with portfolio companies, in an effort to consistently advocate for the importance of corporate sustainability and long-term value creation.

The CalSTRS Popular Annual Financial Report details the system’s performance for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016, and ending June 30, 2017. Complete financial information and a statistical overview can be found in the CalSTRS 2016–17 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.

Educating Members on Early Retirement Planning

CalSTRS has taken proactive steps to include several financial literacy initiatives into our business practices in order to engage and educate members on the importance of retirement planning. Over the course of their careers, from the early years to nearing retirement, members are offered a variety of retirement planning resources and tools, including online calculators, supplemental savings plan comparison tools via 403bCompare.com, the CalSTRS Pension2 defined contribution supplemental savings vehicle, financial education workshops and targeted publications based on their life and career priorities. The goal of these educational efforts, tools and resources is to support members in taking the necessary steps toward realizing a rewarding, sustainable and secure retirement.

Investment Returns and Long-Term Assumption Changes

The 2016–17 fiscal year demonstrated the shifting nature of the global investment markets, with the overall fund earning a 13.4 percent (net of fees) investment return, well above the actuarially assumed rate of 7.25 percent (net) used for funding purposes. The current year’s performance will be a positive contributor to our 30-year investment return assumption of 7.0 percent adopted by the Teachers’ Retirement Board in February 2017 as part of the two-year phased-in approach

Securing the financial future and sustaining the trust of California’s educators.

ENDING NET POSITION $210,289,900 $189,113,487 11.2%

Changes in Net Position(Dollars in Thousands)

Total net position for the STRP increased by approximately $21.2 billion or 11.2 percent to $210.3 billion. Changes in net position are primarily caused by three factors—contributions, investment income and benefit payments. The most significant reason for the increase was a 977 percent increase in net investment income due to strong market performance resulting in an investment return of 13.4 percent (net of fees) for fiscal year 2016–17.

Other Funds and ProgramThe above financials are for the STRP, which consists of the Defined Benefit (DB) Program, Defined Benefit Supplement (DBS) Program, Cash Balance Benefit (CBB) Program and Replacement Benefits (RB) Program. The CalSTRS Pension2 Program is shown on page 7. For the Medicare Premium Payment Program and the Teachers’ Deferred Compensation Fund, refer to the CalSTRS 2017 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.

Although this report is largely based on CalSTRS 2017 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), this report is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Only the financial data of certain plans (defined benefit plan and defined contribution plans) are included in this report. Additionally, information is presented in a summarized manner, and certain financial statements and note disclosures required by GAAP are omitted.

1 Borrowing costs of $32,406 associated with the master credit facility portfolio for the year ended June 30, 2016, were reclassified from Net Investment Income to Deductions to conform to the presentation as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017. The reclassifications had no impact on net position or changes in net position.

6 CalSTRS Popular Annual Financial Report 2017

STATE TEACHERS’ RETIREMENT PLAN FINANCIAL SUMMARY (CONTINUED)

The chart above shows that prior to the enactment of AB 1469 in June 2014, there had been a growing gap between contributions and benefit payments. During fiscal year 2016−17, the gap narrowed by 22.7 percent. Contributions will continue to increase according to AB 1469, and the DB Program continues to make progress toward full funding by the year 2046. The experience beyond 2046 may differ.

How Benefits Are FundedHistorically, more than 62 percent of retirement benefits have been funded by investment returns with the remainder coming from a combination of member, employer and state contributions. However, as expected, these percentages will change over time due to fluctuating net investment income as well as the adjustments to required member, employer and state contribution rates under AB 1469.

FUNDING RATIO

The June 30, 2016, funding valuation showed an increase of $20.5 billion in the unfunded actuarial obligation (UAO) of the DB Program to a total of $96.7 billion and a decrease in the funding ratio from 68.5 percent to 63.7 percent primarily due to new actuarial assumptions adopted by the Teachers’ Retirement Board. The actuarial assumptions were revised based on the actuarial experience study for the period starting July 1, 2010, and ending June 30, 2015. The most significant changes were to the long-term investment return rate, mortality tables, and inflation and wage growth assumptions for CalSTRS members.

Defined Benefit Program Funding Ratio

Net Pension LiabilityThe Net Pension Liability (NPL) for the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan (DB, DBS, CBB and RB programs) represents the excess of the total pension liability over fiduciary net position. The NPL is a calculation based on Governmental Accounting Standards Board requirements and reflects total accrued benefits earned by plan members through the employment-exchange process less the value of plan assets available to fund the liability.

State Teachers’ Retirement Plan Net Pension Liability of Employers and Nonemployer Contributing Entity(Dollars in Millions)

The NPL increased by approximately 14 percent primarily due to the adoption of new actuarial assumptions based on the actuarial experience study for the period starting July 1, 2010, and ending June 30, 2015.
