20-Year Annualized Average Public Pension Returns At Lowest Level: Funding Shortfall Expected

From The Wall Street Journal, "Pension Returns Slump, Squeezing States and Cities: Long-term returns for U.S. public pensions are expected to drop to the lowest levels ever recorded" by Timothy W Martin:
Long-term returns for U.S. public pensions are expected to drop to the lowest levels ever recorded, portending deeper pain for states and cities as a $1 trillion funding gap widens.

Twenty-year annualized returns for public pensions in the U.S. are poised to decline to 7.47% once fiscal 2016 results are released in coming weeks, according to an estimate from Wilshire Trust Universe Comparison Service, which tracks pension investment returns.

Funding shortcomings often mean taxpayers or workers are asked to chip in more to account for rising liabilities. Every one-percentage-point drop in investment returns represents an increase of 12% in liabilities, according to the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.
