System (TCRS) and the Metropolitan Employee Benefit System

interviews with cognizant officials. In 1972, seven separate
pension plans were merged into the TCRS, which is operated by un
independent board of trustees, managed by the State Treasurer,
and invested by the State Treasury Department's Investment
Section. Findings/Conclusions: For fiscal year 1976, the assets
of the TCRS were about $823 million and the rate of return

an investment committee which uses a local bank's trust
department to manage investments. Fiscal year 1976 funds totaled
about $28 million; return with gains and losses was 5.22
percent. (DJM)
