  • 2014 OPERS Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
    2014OPERS OKLAHOMA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM 50th Anniversary 1964 –2014 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2014 A Component Unit of the State of Oklahoma In the 1963 session of the Oklahoma Legislature, Senate Bill 62 was signed into law by Governor Henry Bellmon and established the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System. Later in his life, Governor Bellmon said one of his proudest accomplishments was the creation of OPERS, which he saw as a way to encourage longevity and bolster Oklahoma’s Merit System of employment. This edition of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report commemorates 50 years of service by OPERS to tens of thousands of dedicated public servants who have served the people of our great state. Over the last 50 years, OPERS has delivered on the promise of its creators to invest and safeguard the assets entrusted to us to provide financial security to those public employees when they leave service. In 1964, OPERS served roughly 15,000 active members, paid $213 in total benefits, and managed in excess of $1 million in total assets. Today, OPERS serves nearly 44,000 active members, pays more than $520 million in total benefits to 32,000 benefit recipients across the state and around the world, and prudently manages more than $8.5 billion in total assets. While the plan has grown and changed significantly over the past half century, our fundamental responsibility to provide financially sound retirement services to our members has not. We continue to strive to exceed the expectations of our members and participating employers to provide the tools to make sound financial decisions and enter retirement with confidence.
