SAN ANTONIO (May 2, 2018) - The San Antonio Fire and Police Pension Fund (SAFPPF) earned a 14.7 percent return on $2.8 billion in investable assets in 2017, adding $370 million to the retirement benefits system for retired police officers, firefighters, and their beneficiaries.

The pension fund ended FY 2017 with $3.2 billion, the first time in its long history that it exceeded $3 billion. SAFPPF was founded in 1919 and then established as a trust in Texas statutes by the legislature in 1941. SAFPPF targets a 7.25 percent return to achieve funding goals for its members’ benefits and has attained an 8.4 percent average return for the last five years.

"We have a very disciplined approach to selecting investments and it is working well," said J.T. Trevino, chairman of the SAFPPF Board of Trustees. "We diversify our members’ assets among six major investment categories through a stringent selection and verification process. We are recognized as a leading pension system in the state because of the success we’ve had with conservative governance of our members’ earned benefits."
