Colorado’s public pension fund saw a 7.3 percent return in 2016, narrowly meeting its benchmark after directors lowered expectations at the last-minute. The state’s Public Employees’ Retirement Association released its annual financial report Friday touting the $3 billion in net investment income last year even as the director called the fund’s risk profile “too high.” The unfunded liability increased 20 percent to $32.2 billion after the PERA board lowered investment return projections in November from 7.5 percent to 7.25 percent and revised its numbers to reflect that its members are living longer.
