9-3-440. Duties of trustee in investing and managing assets of retirement system.
(a) In investing and managing assets of a retirement system pursuant to W.S. 9-3-439, a trustee with authority to invest and manage assets:
(i) Shall consider among other circumstances:
(A) General economic conditions;
(B) The possible effect of inflation or deflation;
(C) The role that each investment or course of action plays within the overall portfolio of the retirement program or appropriate grouping of programs;
(D) The expected total return from income and the appreciation of capital;
(E) Needs for liquidity, regularity of income and preservation or appreciation of capital; and
(F) For defined benefit plans, the adequacy of funding for the plan based on reasonable actuarial factors.
(ii) Shall diversify the investments of each retirement program or appropriate grouping of programs unless the trustee reasonably determines that, because of special circumstances, it is clearly prudent not to do so;
(iii) Shall make a reasonable effort to verify facts relevant to the investment and management of assets of a retirement system;
(iv) May invest in any kind of property or type of investment consistent with this act; and
(v) May consider benefits created by an investment in addition to investment return only if the trustee determines that the investment providing these collateral benefits would be prudent even without the collateral benefits.
(b) A trustee with authority to invest and manage assets of a retirement system shall adopt a statement of investment objectives and policies for each retirement program or appropriate grouping of programs. The statement shall include the desired rate of return on assets overall, the desired rates of return and acceptable levels of risk for each asset class, asset-allocation goals, guidelines for the delegation of authority and information on the types of reports to be used to evaluate investment performance. At least annually, the trustee shall review the statement and change or reaffirm it.
