Show Notes
Alabamas Retirement Systems (RSA) defends its seven point four five percent assumed rate of return on investments, citing a forty-year data perspective that shows most years beating the target and an average of nine point nine seven percent annually. Critics, including a Reason Foundation report, argue the rate is too optimistic, pointing to past twenty-four years averaging six point four percent and a persistent gap between assets and liabilities since reforms around twenty eleven and twenty twelve. State officials dispute the criticism, emphasizing incorrect math in rankings and the use of conservative updates recommended by independent actuarial firms to bolster long-term stability.
