OPERS Investments

The main goal for OPERS' investments is sustained performance, which will help to provide secure retirement benefits and health care coverage to our members.

Our investment philosophy is governed by state statue and requires that a "prudent person" standard be applied to all investment decisions.

We maintain separate investment plans for our three funds: Defined Benefit, Health Care and Defined Contribution.

• Defined Benefit Fund
