How will the 2008 market downturn affect Tier Two member regular accounts?
Tier Two member regular account earnings crediting reflects Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund (OPERF) regular account investment gains or losses. Since regular account investments lost value in 2008, those losses will be allocated proportionally to Tier Two accounts. The PERS Board will determine final 2008 earnings crediting for Tier Two member accounts in March 2009.
