Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund
The OPERF is managed by the Oregon State Treasury, under the direction
of the Oregon Investment Council (OIC). The Council's statutory mandate
is to achieve the highest return possible on its investments.
Please note that the Oregon State Treasury and OIC do not administer
the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System. They do not set benefits
for retirees and nor do they set contribution rates for those entities
that put money into the pension system.
PERS is administered
by a separate agency that collects contributions and calculates and pays
benefits. It is based in Tigard and is directed by its own
independent board.
If you are a public employee or retiree with questions about PERS,
you can access tools and information on the
agency's web site or
contact PERS directly.
There is a separate page if you are a representative of a
government employer
with questions about PERS contributions.
The Oregon Treasury and OIC oversee only the investment of the
Oregon Public Employee Retirement Fund, which protects and invests
the financial assets between when money is paid in and when benefits
are paid out. The fund is held in trust for its beneficiaries and
cannot be utilized for any other purpose.
The Oregon State Treasury makes information readily available about
the size, investments and performance of the fund.
