Arkansas Administrative Code › Agency 137 - Arkansas Fire and Police Pension Review Board › Rule 137.00.08-001 - Rule 13 - Minimum Asset Management Standards

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 6, June, 2024
MINIMUM ASSET MANAGEMENT STANDARDS
Act 851 of 2007, codified as Arkansas Code Annotated §
							24-11-216, establishes minimum asset management standards for local pension and relief funds subject to the jurisdiction of the Arkansas Fire and Police Pension Review Board ("the Board") and directs the Board to promulgate rules as necessary to implement the statute.
Section 1.
Definitions.
A.
Rate of Return
The "rate of return earned by the local pension and relief fund" shall mean the market rate of return, which shall be calculated using the following formula and definitions:
Market Rate of Return = (2 X II) / (A + B - II)
A = Beginning of the year Market Value of Assets
B = End of the year Market Value of Assets
Income = Non-Investment Income of the plan (e.g. millage, premium tax, etc.)
Benefits = Benefits and administrative expenses of the plan
II = Market Investment Income
= B - A - Income + Benefits
The Rate of Return will be determined by the Board and reported in the valuation reports.
B.
Three (3) Year Average Rate of Return
The three (3) year average rate of return and the phrase "over the most recent three (3) year period" is defined as the arithmetic mean of the Rate of Return as defined in Section 1(A) of this rule. For example, if a pension fund had Rates of Return of 4.5%, 6.2%, and 5.2% in 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively, then the Three Year Average Rate of Return would be 5.3% ( (4.5 + 6.2 + 5.2)/3 ).
C.
Actuarially Sound
The term Actuarially Sound is defined in Board Rule 4 of the Board. If a fund is considered Actuarially Sound by virtue of a Cash Flow Study or Alternate Cash Flow Study as defined in that rule, then they will be considered to remain Actuarially Sound until the next regular actuarial valuation, cash flow study, or alternate cash flow study is released.
D.
One (1) Year US Treasury Notes
The "rate of return for one (1) year United States Treasury notes over the most recent three-year period" is defined to be the arithmetic mean of the 36 months closing yield on "U.S. Treasury securities at 1-year constant maturity," as this term is commonly used by the Federal Reserve and investment professionals. The 36 months average will be calculated using the December 31 closing yield of the year of measurement and the 35 preceding months. The Board will determine the 36 months closing yield from Bloomberg or another similarly authoritative standard investment community source.
E.
Compliance under 24-11-202
For purposes of this rule, the term "compliance under §
									24-11-202 " shall have the same meaning as "Eligible Location (In Compliance)" as defined in Board Rule 12. The list compiled in accordance with Board Rule 12 will therefore also serve to determine which plans are not "in compliance" for purposes of this rule.

		  supplies are not available in sufficient quantities without developing
		  additional water storage to alleviate this ground water depletion
		  problem.
C. The tax incentives
		  provided under this program encourage water users to invest in:
(1) the construction of impoundments to
		  utilize available surface water and reduce our dependence on ground
		  water;
(2) the conversion from
		  ground water use to surface water use when surface water is
		  available;
(3) the water
		  conservation practice of land leveling to reduce agricultural irrigation water
		  use; and
(4) the installation of
		  water meters to monitor ground water usage.
D. It is of utmost importance to Arkansas
