Connecticut Treasurer Erick Russell announces strong pension fund returns for FY26

“Another year of strong investment performance is an important result for Connecticut’s pension funds and the people who rely on them,” said Treasurer Russell. “A 15.1% return in Fiscal Year 2026, and four consecutive years of returns above our assumed rate, demonstrates the value of maintaining a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment strategy. These results strengthen the retirement security of Connecticut’s teachers and state employees, while reducing pressure on future state budgets and helping us continue the progress we have made in strengthening the financial foundation of our state.”
