Kentucky’s Teachers’ Retirement System posted a 15.04% investment return for the fiscal year ended June 30, marking its fourth consecutive year of double-digit gains, according to a report from the Lane Report.
The Retirement Annuity Trust achieved a 15.04% return while the Health Insurance Trust returned 16.06% before fees. After deducting investment fees, the net returns were 14.75% and 15.79% respectively. The strong performance caps a four-year stretch of double-digit gains for both funds.
TRS staff presented the fiscal 2026 results to the system’s Investment Committee, highlighting the pension’s competitive position among major public pension plans. According to an analysis by Aon Investments USA comparing large domestic pension plans with more than $1 billion in assets, TRS’s one-year return of 15.04% ranked in the top 29% of peers. Over three years, the system ranked in the top 10% with a 13.21% annualized return. Most notably, TRS posted a 10-year annualized return of 10.31%, placing it in the top 4% of comparable pension plans.
The results bolster long-term performance metrics. Over the past 30 years, TRS said its annuity investments have generated a compounded return of 8%, exceeding the system’s 7.1% long-term assumed rate of return.
The strong investment performance comes as Kentucky continues to provide full state funding for the teachers’ retirement system. TRS benefited during the fiscal year from complete state budget funding and an additional $40 million from the state’s Budget Reserve Trust Fund.
“The approach of the TRS Board of Trustees and investment team is disciplined and focused on the best returns in all types of markets,” said Gary Harbin, TRS Executive Secretary. Harbin noted that the combination of strong investment returns and continued state funding is strengthening retirement security for Kentucky teachers.
TRS is a comprehensive retirement plan for Kentucky’s public school teachers that includes defined benefits, life insurance and retiree health insurance. The system manages assets on behalf of approximately 140,000 teachers and other education professionals, paying about $2.7 billion annually in retirement and health care benefits.
