LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

THE REPORTING ENTITY

The Division was established in 1955 as the Division of Pensions to provide all administration of the state pen-sion funds except investments. The Division changed its name to the Division of Pensions and Benefits in 1992to more accurately reflect its roles and responsibilities beyond the realm of pensions. Currently, the Divisionadministers one of the largest non-federal public benefits program in the nation, consisting of ten separate retire-ment systems, three supplemental retirement savings programs, two health benefits programs for employees,retirees, and family members, and several other employee benefits programs. Over 789,573 members enjoy thebenefits of the various pension systems administered by the Division, and over 863,000 lives are covered in theState Health Benefits Program (SHBP) and the School Employees’ Health Benefits Program (SEHBP). In additionto the State, 1,763 local public employers participate in the retirement systems, and 1,103 local employers par-ticipate in the SHBP and SEHBP.

CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT FOR EXCELLENCE IN FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) recognized the Division’sCAFR of last year for Excellence in Financial Reporting. A copy of the Certificate of Achievement is included inthis CAFR.

MAJOR INITIATIVES

The impact of major pension and health benefit reform legislation continued to be a significant administrativechallenge for the Division in 2012. The implementation of P.L. 2011, c. 78, enacted just prior to the 2012 fis-cal year, was the Division’s primary focus during the latter part of 2011 into early 2012. The legislation provid-ed for the following increases in the employee contribution rates: from 5.5% to 6.5% in the first year plus anadditional 1% phased-in over 7 years for TPAF and PERS (including legislators, law enforcement officer (LEO)members, and workers compensation judges); from 3% to 12% for JRS phased-in over seven years; from 8.5% to10% for PFRS members and members of PERS Prosecutors Part; and from 7.5% to 9% for SPRS members. Thissweeping reform also included provisions to establish new pension committees in the PERS, TPAF, PFRS, andSPRS, provided for increases in employee contribution rates across all the defined benefit funds, created newmembership tiers for newly enrolling members of the PERS, TPAF and PFRS with different retirement eligibilityrequirements/formulas, changed the methodology for calculating the unfunded accrued liability, and suspendedautomatic additional cost of living adjustments to current and future retirees.

On the health benefits side, Chapter 78 required that all public employees in New Jersey covered by an employ-er-sponsored health plan contribute to the cost of coverage based on their salary and coverage level. In addi-tion, the law established two joint employee-employer plan design committees, one for the State Health BenefitsProgram and one for the School Employees Health Benefits Program, to create cost effective plans as well as ahigh deductible health plan (HDHP). The committees also have sole discretion in establishing copays, coinsur-ance, deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums in the plans.

In other health benefits-related developments, the Division, in cooperation with the Division of Purchase andProperty, initiated a Medical Plan RFP with a contract effective date of January 1, 2013. The RFP was developedduring fiscal 2012 with an award announcement in fiscal 2013. The RFP is for the administration of theSHBP/SEHBP’s PPO, HMO and HDHP plan designs for its 863,000 covered lives. It is estimated that the RFP awardwill result in an estimated $30-$35 million savings in each of the plan years in the four year contract.

In addition, Medicare eligible retirees were transitioned to a new Medicare integration plan effective January 1,2012. The new plan, an Employer Group Waiver Plan (EGWP) plus wrap, replaced the current integration method,Retiree Drug Subsidy (RDS). Federal health care reform resulted in the EGWP plan being more cost effective forthe SHBP/SEHBP and is estimated to save the plans $90M per year over the current RDS integration method.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

The Division continues its efforts to provide additional automated and self-service processing opportunities toboth the members and employers of the State-administered retirement systems and health benefit programs. Asa result of new legislation and technology enhancements, the following initiatives were implemented:

Chapter 52 Employer Enrollment Training — The enactment of P.L. 2011, c. 52, established new procedures andonline employer training requirements for the enrollment and/or transfer of employees into the State-adminis-tered retirement systems. The 2012 implementation required changes in the enrollment applications for all pen-sion funds. An online training module was developed for employers to satisfy the mandatory training requirementof the law. An Employer Certification module that would be accessible through the EPIC portal is waiting to bedeployed.

Interactive Voice Response System (IVR) — The existing hardware and software for the IVR was replaced andthe new system shares hardware and software resources with the Department of Labor. The IVR system providesmembers and employers with the ability to obtain pension and health plan information, and process a loan andother transactions over the telephone. As result of a major initiative completed in the summer of 2012, the IVRis now the point of entry for members calling the Division. From there a number of self-service options are avail-able, or, if the member chooses, they will be transferred to the call center to speak with a counselor.

Web Enhancement Project — The WEB Enhancement Project involved two components; 1) an upgrade to theDivision’s static web pages, and 2) an upgrade to the inquiry and transactional web pages of Employer PensionInformation Connection (EPIC) and Member Benefits Online System (MBOS). This project has resulted in theenhancement of 26 sub-application components.

Auto Response System for E-mails — The Division expanded the Siebel automated e-mail response system with87 categories to respond to common questions. As a result, e-mails that require a response from a counselor havedecreased. The business benefit of the auto response system provides that both members and employers receiveimmediate responses to those issues that are routine in nature. Complex inquiries are forwarded to counselors fora more detailed response.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Financial reports of the Fiduciary Funds of the Division have been prepared in conformity with generallyaccepted accounting principles as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting StandardsBoard (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for governmental accounting and financial reporting. Thespecific accounting policies can be found in the Notes to the Financial Statements found in the FinancialSection.

The Fiduciary Funds include twelve separate pension trust funds, three health benefit program funds, and threeagency funds. A summary of the condition of the funds administered by the Division of Pensions and Benefitsis located in the “Management Discussion and Analysis” that begins on page 39 of the CAFR. Management isresponsible for establishing and maintaining the accounting systems complete with internal controls so thatthe data presented is complete and fairly presents the financial position of the Division as of June 30, 2012.CliftonLarsonAllen LLP independently audited the funds.

INVESTMENTS

The Division of Investment has the responsibility for investing the assets of the programs administered by theDivision. This is done under the jurisdiction of the State Investment Council. Investments are guided by the “pru-dent person rule”. During FY 2012 investment returns on pension funds were +2.52 percent. When combined withthe returns for previous years, the annualized returns over the past three, five and ten-year periods were +11.11percent, +2.46 percent, and +6.42 percent, respectively.

FUNDING

A fully funded system that has assets sufficient to meet the retirement benefit schedules is one that instills con-fidence and trust. While employer funding obligations have been difficult to meet over the past several yearsdue to conflicting budgetary priorities, the enactment of Chapter 1, P.L. 2010 and Chapter 78, P.L. 2011 havecharted a long term path which is projected to result in improved funded levels over a thirty year period.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

The Division contracts with several professional organizations for advice and assistance in administering the pro-grams for which it is responsible. The list of these organizations is found on page 95 of the CAFR. The Office ofthe Attorney General provides all legal services required by the Division of Pensions and Benefits and the retire-ment system Boards of Trustees.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The preparation of the CAFR required the combined efforts of many employees from different operational unitswithin the Division. The CAFR is intended to provide extensive and reliable information to facilitate informed deci-sions, determine compliance with legal requirements, and determine responsible stewardship for the assets con-tributed by the systems’ members, participating employers, and the taxpayers of the State. I would like to takethis opportunity to express my gratitude to the Governor, the Legislature, the Treasurer, the Boards of Trustees,the individuals providing professional services, participating employer benefits administrators, and to the out-standing employees of the Division for all their efforts and support. Such concerted effort has resulted in mak-ing New Jersey’s public benefits system one of the largest and best administered in the nation.

Respectfully submitted,

Florence J. Sheppard, Acting Director

Additions of the pension trust and state health benefit program funds consist of member and employercontributions and earnings from investment activities. There is a decrease of $8.5 billion or 43.7% intotal additions, mainly attributable to lesser net investment income in fiscal year 2012 as compared tofiscal year 2011.

Member contributions increased by $214.6 million overall of which $11.5 million increase is attributableto the state health benefit program funds and a $203.1 million increase is attributable to the pensiontrust funds. In the SHBP – State, the member contributions increased by $11.7 million or 8.3%, in SHBP– Local the member contributions increased by $2.9 million or 7.3% and in SHBP – Education, the mem-ber contributions decreased by $3.1 million or -5.9%.

SHBP membership increases between plan year 2011 and 2012 also contributedto the higher member contributions. However, in the SHBP – Education total member contributionsdecreased between fiscal year 2011 and fiscal year 2012 due to a reduction in the number of self paymembers with adult child coverage as a result of the extension of coverage for qualified adult child underthe provisions of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).

STATE OF NEW JERSEYDIVISION OF PENSIONS AND BENEFITS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis, ContinuedJune 30, 2012

For the pension trust funds, the increase in member contributions is attributable to the higher membercontribution rate for the various pension plans as required in Chapter 78, P.L. 2011.

Chapter 1, P.L. 2010, effective May 21, 2010, required the State to make its full pension contribution,defined as 1/7th of the required amount, beginning in fiscal year 2012. Based on that, the State madepension contributions totaling $484.5 million as follows: $287.5 million to the Teachers’ Pension andAnnuity Fund (TPAF), $124.9 million to Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS), $53.6 million toPolice & Firemen’s Retirement System (PFRS), $0.2 million to Consolidated Police & Firemen’s PensionFund (CPFPF), $5.5 million to Judicial Retirement System (JRS), and $12.8 million to the State PoliceRetirement System (SPRS).

State non-contributory group life insurance contributions for fiscal year totaling $67.4 million were asfollows: $30.8 million for TPAF, $29.8 million for PERS, $5.6 million for PFRS, $0.5 million for JRS, and$0.7 million for SPRS. Between fiscal years 2011 and 2012, the State’s contribution toward non-contrib-utory group life insurance decreased by $4.2 million due to lower claims activity. State non-contributo-ry life insurance benefits are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. The local contributions for PERS and PFRSare included in the annual billings to local employers.

The annual local employer pension appropriation billings normally increase due to the salaries of employ-ees and the rate of contribution as determined by the actuary. For PERS, the amount accrued in fiscalyear 2011 for normal contribution, accrued liability and NCGI was $826.0 million and was due on April1, 2012. For fiscal year 2012, the total amount accrued was $784.7 million and is due April 1, 2013. ForPFRS the total amount accrued in fiscal year 2011 for normal contributions, accrued liability and NCGIwas $763.2 million and was due April 1, 2012. For fiscal year 2012, the total amount accrued was $781.2million and is due April 1, 2013.

The local billing amounts due April 1, 2013 for PERS and PFRS are impacted by various provisions ofChapter 78, P.L. 2011, the revised economic actuarial assumptions including the assumed rate of returndecreasing from 8.25% to 7.95% and the reduction in salary increase assumption of -2% for the first fiveyears and -0.75% for all years thereafter.

The SHBP – State employer contributions decreased by $82.0 million. This is a result of using availablereserves to cover claims. For the SHBP – Local, employer contributions increased by $89.1 million. Forthe SHBP – Education, employer contributions increased by $107.0 million. These increases are attribut-able to rate increases effective January 1, 2011.

The total investment return for all pension funds was estimated to be a gain of 2.52% compared to again of 18.03% in the prior year. As a result, net investment income decreased by $10.3 billion or 85.6%due to the lower investment return in fiscal year 2012 as compared to fiscal year 2011.

Deductions of the pension trust and state health benefit program funds are mainly comprised of pensionbenefit payments to retirees and beneficiaries, refunds of contributions to former members, and admin-istrative costs incurred by the Funds to run the pension plans. Also included are claim charges for theself-insured health and prescription drug benefit programs. Between fiscal years 2011 and 2012, benefitpayments increased by $1.1 billion or 8.7% due to an increase in the number of retirees receiving retire-ment and other benefits. The number of refunds processed decreased by $5.4 million or 3.3% comparedto last year. Administrative expenses decreased by $3.6 million or 7.2%.

New Jersey Division of Pensions and Benefits 43

The reduction in net assets of $3.2 billion was mainly attributable to less investment income andincreased benefit payments when comparing fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2011

OVERALL FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE FUNDS

For the defined benefit pension trust funds, the combined funded ratio is 67.5% based on the revisedcurrent actuarial valuation dated July 1, 2011, reflecting the impact of the revised economic assumptionchanges, with an unfunded actuarial accrued liability of $41.7 billion on an actuarial basis per GASBStatement No. 25 as compared to 70.5% based on the prior year valuation with an unfunded actuarialaccrued liability of $36.3 billion. The increase in the unfunded pension liability and the decrease in theoverall funded ratio is mainly attributable to expected actuarial losses including the investment return of2.52% being lower than the assumed rate of return of 7.95% and the State’s pension contribution of1/7th of the actuarially required amount being less than the full actuarially required amount.

For the SHBP – Education, total expenses incurred exceeded total revenues recognized by $185.3 million,reducing the surplus at the beginning of the year from $369.2 million to $183.9 million at year end. Thisreduction is due in part to retired rates that were set to utilize some of the funds surplus balance. Inaddition, on the retired side, available fund balance was used to cover a portion of the State’s requiredpremium contributions. Lastly, there was an increase in incurred-but-not-reported claims between fiscalyear 2011 and fiscal year 2012, which also contributed to the reduction in the surplus at year end. Forthe SHBP – State, total expenses incurred exceeded total revenues recognized by $116.3 million, reduc-ing the balance from a surplus at the beginning of the year of $16.2 million to a deficit of $100.1 mil-lion at year end. This is primarily due to the State of New Jersey using available reserves to cover claimspayments. For the SHBP – Local, total expenses incurred exceeded total revenues recognized by $5.2 mil-lion, reducing the surplus at the beginning of the year from $153.1 million to $147.9 million at year endwhich is attributable to higher claims payments.

For the state health benefit program funds for fiscal year 2012, based on the current actuarial valuationdated July 1, 2011, the State had a $18.0 billion unfunded actuarial accrued liability for other post-employment benefits (OPEB) under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 43for the SHBP – State active and retired members and $30.9 billion for the SHBP – Education employeesand retirees that become the obligation of the State of New Jersey upon retirement. In comparison, basedon the prior year actuarial valuation, the State had a $21.1 billion unfunded actuarial accrued liabilityfor the SHBP - State active and retired members and $38.2 billion for the SHBP - Education employeesand retirees. The reduction in the overall unfunded actuarial accrued liability is mainly attributable to thechanged method of prescription drug integration from the Retiree Drug Subsidy to the Employer GroupWaiver Program and Chapter 78, P.L. 2011 that increased contribution requirements for some futureretirees. The SHBP - Local fiscal year 2012 unfunded actuarial accrued liability for OPEB based on thesame actuarial valuation was $11.1 billion and, for the prior year actuarial valuation, the liability was$12.1 billion.

During the year, the ABP and the PAF received sufficient funding to meet their benefit obligations.

For the State Employees Deferred Compensation Plan and the Supplemental Annuity Collective Trust,members are 100% vested in the present value of their contributions, and the funds have sufficient assetsto meet future benefit obligations.

For fiscal year 2012, the member con-tribution rates increased in October 2011. The phase-in of the additional incremental member contribu-tion rates for TPAF, PERS and JRS members takes place in July of each subsequent fiscal year.

• The payment of automatic cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) additional increases to current and futureretirees and beneficiaries was suspended. COLA increases may be reactivated at a future date as permit-ted by this law.

• This legislation set new employee contribution requirements towards the cost of employer-providedhealth benefit coverage. Employees are required to contribute a certain percentage of the cost of cover-age. The rate of contribution is determined based on the employee’s annual salary and the selected levelof coverage. The increased employee contributions will be phased in over a 4-year period for thoseemployed prior to this legislation’s effective date with a minimum contribution required to be at least1.5% of salary.

• In addition, this legislation changed the method for amortizing the pension systems’ unfunded accruedliability from a level percent of pay method to a level dollar of pay method.

Investments

The Division of Investment, Department of the Treasury, State of New Jersey (Division of Investment)manages and invests certain assets of seven of the defined benefit plans (PERS, TPAF, JRS, PFRS, CPFPF,SPRS and POPF) and two defined contribution plans (SACT and NJSEDCP). The Division of Investment sep-arately reports the assets, liabilities and net assets of the underlying investment portfolio of the sevendefined benefit plans in its Pension Fund report and a SACT report. The Division of Investment accountsincluded in the Pension Fund report are: Common Fund A, Common Fund B, Common Fund D, CommonFund E, Police and Firemen’s Mortgage Program accounts and other investments owned directly by theseven defined benefit pension plans. Common Fund A invests primarily in domestic equity securities.Common Fund B invests primarily in domestic fixed income securities. Common Fund D invests primarilyin international equity and fixed income securities. Common Fund E invests primarily in alternativeinvestments which includes private equity, real estate, real assets, and absolute return strategy invest-ments. The Police and Firemen’s Retirement System includes a mortgage loan program administered bythe New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency that provides participants with mortgages from theprogram at rates which are fixed by formula. The law establishing the program provides that the Fundmay not sell the mortgages, and no independent market exists for them.

Prudential Retirement is the third-party administrator for the NJSEDCP. Prudential Retirement providesrecordkeeping, administration services and access to 23 investments through a combination of their sep-arate account product offerings and retail branded mutual funds. The four state-managed investmentsoptions (DCP Bond Fund, DCP Equity Fund, DCP Small Cap Equity Fund and DCP Money Market Fund) areclosed to new investments. The Division of Investment is the fiduciary for the investments of the Plan.The Division of Pensions and Benefits maintains its administrative oversight functions for the Plan.

Investments are reported at fair value as follows:

• U.S. Government and Agency, Sovereign and Corporate obligations – prices quoted by a major dealerin such securities.

• Police and Firemen’s mortgages – estimated market prices obtained from independent brokers.

• Domestic and Foreign Equity Securities, Exchanged Traded Funds, Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts– closing prices as reported on the primary market or exchange on which they trade.

• Money Market Instruments – amortized cost which approximates fair value.

• Cash Management Fund – closing bid price on the last day of trading during the period as determinedby the Transfer Agent.

• Alternative investments (private equity, real estate, real asset, and absolute return strategy funds) –Fair values for the individual funds are based upon the net asset values for the funds at the closestavailable reporting date, adjusted for subsequent contributions, distributions, management fees andreserves. The valuation techniques vary based upon investment type and involve a certain degree ofexpert judgment. The most significant input into the net asset value of an entity is the value of itsinvestment holdings. The net asset value is provided by the general partner and/or investment man-ager and reviewed by management. The net asset values are audited annually. The strategy of privateequity and real estate funds are long term and illiquid in nature which can prevent the investmentfrom being readily marketable. Hedge funds may be subject to redemption restrictions which can limitdistributions and restrict the ability of a limited partner to exit a partnership. For alternative invest-ments, the realized value received upon the sale of these investments in the open market might bedifferent than the fair value reported in the accompanying financial statements.

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade or investment date basis. Gains and losses frominvestment transactions are determined by the average cost method. Interest and dividend income isrecorded on the accrual basis, with dividends accruing on the ex-dividend date.

Securities Lending

The State Investment Council policies permit Common Funds A, B, D and E and several of the direct pen-sion plan portfolios to participate in securities lending programs, whereby securities are loaned to bro-kers or other borrowers and, in return, the pension funds have rights to the collateral received. All of thepublic traded securities held in Common Funds A, B, D and E, and certain securities held directly by thepension plans, are eligible for the securities lending program. Collateral received may consist of cash, let-ters of credit, or government securities having a market value equal to or exceeding 102% (U.S. dollardenominated) or 105% (non-U.S. dollar denominated) of the value of the loaned securities at the timethe loan is made. Collateral is marked to market daily and adjusted as needed to maintain the requiredminimum level.

Effective December 2010, for loans of U.S. government securities or sovereign debt issued by non-U.S.governments, in the event that the market value of the collateral falls below 100% of the market valueof the outstanding loaned securities to an individual borrower, or the market value of the collateral of allloans of such securities falls below the collateral requirement, additional collateral shall be transferred bythe borrower to the respective funds no later than the close of the next business day so that the marketvalue of such additional collateral together with collateral previously delivered meets the collateralrequirements.

For loans of all other types of securities, in the event that the market value of the collateral falls belowthe collateral requirement of either 102% or 105% (depending on whether the securities are denominat-ed in U.S. dollars or a foreign currency, respectively) of the market value of the outstanding loaned secu-rities to an individual borrower, additional collateral shall be transferred in an amount that will increasethe aggregate of the borrower’s collateral to meet the collateral requirements. As of June 30, 2012, theCommon Funds have no aggregate credit risk exposure to borrowers because the collateral amount heldby the Common Funds exceeded the market value of the securities on loan.

The contracts with the Common Funds’ securities lending agent require them to indemnify the CommonFunds if the brokers or other borrowers fail to return the securities and provides that collateral securitiesmay be sold in the event of a borrower default. The Common Funds are also indemnified for any loss of

principal or interest on collateral invested in repurchase agreements. The Common Funds cannot partici-pate in any dividend reinvestment program or vote with respect to any securities that are on loan on theapplicable record date. The securities loans can be terminated by notification by either the borrower orthe Common Funds. The term to maturity of the securities loans is generally matched with the term tomaturity of the investment of the cash collateral.

Derivatives

The Division of Investment, from time to time, utilizes forward foreign currency contracts, a derivativesecurity, as a means to hedge against currency risks in the Common Funds’ foreign equity and fixedincome portfolios.

Forward foreign currency contracts are agreements to buy or sell a specific amount of a foreign currencyat a specified delivery or maturity date for an agreed upon price.

The fair value of foreign forward currency contracts held directly by the Common Funds as of June 30,2012 was as follows:

Forward currency receivable $ 423,267,019Forward currency payable 420,869,210

Net unrealized gain $ 2,397,809

The Common Funds utilize covered call and put options in an effort to add value to or reduce the risklevel in the portfolio. Options are agreements that give the owner of the option the right, but not obli-gation, to buy (in the case of a call option) or to sell (in the case of a put option) a specific amount ofan asset for a specific price (called the strike price) on or before a specified expiration date. The CommonFunds enter into covered calls when its writes (or sells) call options on underlying stocks held by theCommon Funds or stock indices. The Common Funds enter into covered put options when it purchases putoptions on underlying stocks held by the Common Funds or stock indices. The Common Fund enters intoput spreads when it purchases put options while simultaneously writing put options on the same under-lying securities of indices at a lower strike price. The purchaser of put options pays a premium at the out-set of the agreement and stands to gain from an unfavorable change (i.e., a decrease) in the price of theinstrument underlying the option. The writer of call options receives a premium at the outset of theagreement and may bear the risk of an unfavorable change (i.e., an increase) in the price of the instru-ment underlying the option.

The Fund had written call options on 7,000,000 shares, and these options had a fair value of $5,570,000at June 30, 2012. The Fund owned 12,100 put option contracts with a fair value of $696,600 at June 30,2012.

Certain of the alternative investment funds and partnerships may use derivative instruments to hedgeagainst market risk and to enhance investment returns. At any point during the year, the Common Fundsmay have additional exposure to derivatives primarily through limited liability vehicles such as limitedpartnerships and commingled investment funds.

Members’ Loans

Members of JRS, PFRS, SPRS, PERS and TPAF who have at least three years of service in these Funds mayborrow up to 50% of their accumulated member contributions. Repayment of loan balances is deductedfrom payroll checks and bears a commercially reasonable interest rate as set by the State Treasurer. For

2012 the interest rate is 5.25%, and there is an $8 processing fee per loan. Members who retire with anoutstanding loan have the option of paying the loan in full prior to receiving any benefits or continuingtheir monthly loan payment schedule into retirement.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses are paid by the Funds and the Systems to the State of New Jersey, Departmentof the Treasury and are included in the accompanying financial statements.

In certain funds (PFRS, PERS, SPRS and TPAF) miscellaneous expenses and reimbursements from the fundthat comprise various adjustments to member and employer accounts are incorporated into the adminis-trative expense amounts included in the accompanying financial statements. These miscellaneous itemsare not part of the supplementary information included in the Schedule of Administrative Expenses(Schedule 3). Additionally, State Health Benefit Program Fund – State, Local and Education administra-tive expenses are included in administrative expenses in the accompanying financial statements but arenot included in the supplementary information in Schedule 3.

Income Tax Status

Based on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) determination letters received in January 2012 for TPAF, PERS,POPF, JRS, and SPRS and in June 2012 for PFRS and CPFPF, the seven pension funds comply with the qual-ification requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The ABP received a determination letter thatit complies with the qualification requirements of the IRC in September 2012.

The NJSEDCP is an eligible plan as described in Section 457 of the IRC.

Commitments

The Common Funds are obligated, under certain private equity, real estate and absolute return strategyalternative investment agreements to make additional capital contributions up to contractual levels overthe investment period specified for each investment. As of June 30, 2012, the Common Funds had unfund-ed commitments totaling approximately $7.6 billion.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principlesrequires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets andliabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense dur-ing the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Funded Status and Funding Progress

The required supplementary information regarding the funded status and funding progress is based onactuarial valuations which involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about theprobability of events far into the future. These amounts are subject to continual revision as actual resultsare compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the probability of future events.

The required schedule of funding progress presents multi-year trend information about whether the actu-arial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilityfor benefits.

Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective and are based on the benefits provided under Statestatutes in effect at the time of each valuation and also consider the pattern of the sharing of costs

between the employer and members at that point in time. The projection of benefits for financial report-ing purposes does not explicitly incorporate the potential effects of legal or contractual funding limita-tions on the pattern of cost sharing between the employer and members in the future.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions

In the revised July 1, 2011 actuarial valuations, the projected unit credit was used as actuarial costmethod, and the five year average of market value was used as asset valuation method for pension trustfunds. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 7.95% for investment rate of return for all the retirementsystems except POPF (5.00%) and CPFPF (2.00%) and (b) changes to projected salary increases, whichvary by fund and are presented on the following pages.

OPEB used the projected unit credit as actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions for OPEB includ-ed 4.50% for investment rate of return.

New Jersey state statute provides for a State Investment Council (Council) and a Director. Investmentauthority is vested in the Director of the Division of Investment and the role of the Council is to formu-late investment policies. The Council issues regulations which establish guidelines for permissible invest-ments which include domestic and international equities and exchange traded funds, covered call options,put options, equity futures contracts, obligations of the U.S. Treasury, government agencies, corporations,international governments and agencies, bank loans, interest rate swap transactions, credit default swaps,fixed income exchange traded funds, U.S. Treasury futures contracts, state and municipal general obliga-tions, public authority revenue obligations, collateralized notes and mortgages, commercial paper, cer-tificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, bankers acceptances, guaranteed income contracts, fundingagreements, money market funds, private equity funds, real estate funds, other real assets, absolutereturn strategy funds, and the State of New Jersey Cash Management Fund (CMF). The CMF is a short-termcash fund and is open to state and certain non-state participants.

The pension funds’ investment in the CMF is not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or bookentry form held by the pension funds.

Custodial credit risk, as it relates to investments, is the risk that in the event of the failure of the cus-todian, the pension funds will not be able to recover the value of investments or collateral securities thatare in the possession of the third-party. The pension funds’ investment securities are not exposed to cus-todial credit risk as they are held in segregated trust accounts in the name of the pension funds with thecustodians.

The Division’s investments are subject to various risks. Among these risks are credit risk, concentrationof credit risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk. Each one of these risks is discussed in moredetail below.

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations.The credit risk of issuers and debt instruments is evaluated by nationally recognized statistical ratingagencies such as Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Corporation (S&P), andFitch Ratings (Fitch). Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of aninvestment in a single issuer. There are no restrictions in the amount that can be invested in UnitedStates treasury and government agency obligations. Council regulations require minimum credit ratingsfor certain categories of fixed income obligations held directly by the pension funds and limit the amountthat can be invested in any one issuer or issue.

Required Supplementary InformationSchedule of Employer Contributions

(Unaudited — See accompanying independent auditor’s report)

Notes to schedule:(1) In accordance with Chapter 115, P.L. 1997, available excess valuation assets were used to cover, in full or in part, the employer pension

contributions. In fiscal year 2004, only PFRS – State and SPRS were able to utilize excess assets to cover, in full or in part, the employ-er contributions. In fiscal year 2005, only SPRS had excess assets available to utilize. In fiscal year 2006, no excess assets were avail-able to be utilized toward State contributions. On the local side, excess assets were utilized to cover, in full or in part, the employercontributions for PERS through fiscal year 2004 and for PFRS through fiscal year 2003.

(2) The local employer pension contributions to PERS from 1999 to 2004 represent the required contributions under the early retirement incen-tive programs.

(4) Differences between the amounts in the employer contribution column in this schedule and the amounts recorded in the financial state-ments and footnotes are attributed to timing differences between the 2011 actuarial valuations and the actual amounts received in fis-cal year 2012. Employer contributions per this schedule represent anticipated contribution amounts determined at the time the actuarialvaluations were prepared and finalized prior to the end of fiscal year 2012. The financial statements and footnotes reflect the actualamounts received in 2012.

REVIEWS OF MAJOR POLICY ISSUES

The Division of Investment ("Division"), under the jurisdiction of the State Investment Council (the"Council"), is responsible for the investment management of the assets of seven public pension systems:The Consolidated Police & Firemen's Pension Fund, the Judicial Retirement System, the Police & Firemen'sRetirement System, the Prison Officers Pension Fund, the Public Employees' Retirement System, the StatePolice Retirement System, and the Teachers' Pension and Annuity Fund (collectively referred to as the"Pension Fund").

The Division was created in 1950 by the New Jersey Legislature (P.O. 1950, c.270) to centralize all func-tions relating to the purchase, sale or exchange of securities for the State's diverse finds under experi-enced and professional management. The statute also established the Council to formulate investmentprocedures and policies to be followed by the Director. The statute vests investment authority in theDirector, who is appointed by the State Treasurer from candidates nominated by the Council. New andamended regulations adopted by the Council after public comments are filed with the Office ofAdministrative Law and reported in the New Jersey Register.

The Council is comprised of 16 members, appointed to fixed terms. Nine members are appointed by theGovernor for staggered five-year terms, and are drawn traditionally from the corporate investment com-munity. Eight of these nine hold appointments subject to the advice and consent of the Senate, and oneappointee is selected by the Governor from nominees submitted jointly by the President of the Senateand Speaker of the Assembly. Two members are appointed by the Governor for five-year terms from nom-inees submitted by the New Jersey State AFL-CIO, with at least one appointed member being a memberof a union representing police officers or firefighters. Two members are appointed by the Governor forthree year terms from nominees submitted by the New Jersey Education Association and the StateTroopers Fraternal Organization. Three members are designated to the Council for three-year terms by therespective pension system's board of trustees for the Public Employees' Retirement System, the Police &Firemen's Retirement System Board, and the Teachers' Pension and Annuity Fund. State law requires thatno Council member shall hold any office, position or employment with any political party, and none canbenefit from the transactions of the Division.

All investments by the Director must conform to the heightened "prudent person" standard set by theNew Jersey Legislature (P.L. 1997, c.26). This standard requires the Director "to manage and invest theportfolio solely in the interests of the beneficiaries of the portfolio and for the exclusive purpose of pro-viding financial benefits to the beneficiaries of the portfolio."

To the best of our knowledge, performance is calculated using the time-weighted return based on themodified Dietz method.

Board of TrusteesPublic Employees' Retirement System

of New Jersey

Re: Actuary’s Certification Letter

Members of the Board:

An actuarial valuation of the Public Employees’ Retirement System of New Jersey (“PERS”) is performedannually to measure the ongoing costs of the System (with required contributions determined separately forthe State and Local employers) and the progress towards the funding goals of the System over time. In gen-eral, the financial goals of the PERS are a pattern of contributions, which is sufficient to cover the normalcost of the System plus the contribution towards the unfunded accrued liability.

In accordance with the New Jersey statutes, employers are required to make two contributions to theSystem, a normal contribution and an accrued liability contribution. The normal contribution for basicallowances and cost of living adjustments (COLA’s) is defined under the Projected Unit Credit fundingmethod as the present value of the benefits accruing during the current year. Prior to the July 1, 2010 val-uation, the unfunded accrued liability contribution for basic allowances and COLA’s was determined as alevel percentage of pay required to amortize the unfunded accrued liability over 30 years in annual pay-ments increasing by 4% per year. The funding reform provisions of Chapter 78, P.L. 2011 changed themethodology used to amortize the unfunded accrued liability. Beginning with the July 1, 2010 actuarial val-uation, the accrued liability contribution shall be computed so that if the contribution is paid annually inlevel dollars, it will amortize the unfunded accrued liability over an open 30 year period. Beginning withthe July 1, 2019 actuarial valuation, the accrued liability contribution shall be computed so that if the con-tribution is paid annually in level dollars it will amortize the unfunded accrued liability over a closed 30year period (i.e., for each subsequent actuarial valuation, the amortization period shall decrease by oneyear). Beginning with the July 1, 2029 actuarial valuation when the remaining amortization period reach-es 20 years, any increase or decrease in the unfunded accrued liability as a result of actuarial losses or gainsfor subsequent valuation years shall serve to increase or decrease, respectively, the amortization period forthe unfunded accrued liability, unless an increase in the amortization period will cause it to exceed 20 years.If an increase in the amortization period as a result of actuarial losses for a valuation year would exceed 20years, the accrued liability contribution shall be computed for the valuation year using a 20 year amortiza-tion period.

The valuation reflects the final provisions of the Appropriation Act for fiscal year 2011. The State fiscal year2011 recommended pension contribution amount of $754,168,635 was reduced to $0.

The valuation reflects the funding reform provisions of Chapter 1, P.L. 2010. Chapter 1, P.L. 2010 allows theState Treasurer to phase in to the full recommended pension contribution. The State would be in compli-ance with its funding requirement provided the State makes a payment of at least 1/7th of the full contri-bution, as computed by the actuaries, in the State fiscal year commencing July 1, 2011 and makes apayment in each subsequent fiscal year that increases by at least an additional 1/7th until payment of thefull contribution is made in the seventh fiscal year and thereafter. Therefore, the fiscal year 2012 recom-

Page 130: DIVISION OF PENSIONS AND BENEFITS · Benefits Processing — TO provide benefits to clients in a timely and efficient manner. Advocacy — TO help structure a well-funded system of

128 New Jersey Division of Pensions and Benefits

mended State pension contribution of $874,346,428 has been reduced to $124,906,634 and has been rec-ognized as a receivable contribution for purposes of this valuation. This amount may be subject to changeper the requirements of the State’s fiscal year 2012 spending plan.

The valuation again reflects the provisions of Chapter 42, P.L. 2002, which allowed Local employers to issuerefunding bonds to retire the unfunded accrued liability due to certain early retirement incentive programs.

The valuation reflects Chapter 19, P.L. 2009, which allowed the State Treasurer to reduce Local employers’normal and accrued liability contributions to 50% of the amount certified for the State fiscal year 2009. Inaddition, certain Local employers who were eligible under Chapter 19, P.L. 2009 to defer 50% of their Statefiscal year 2009 pension contribution but did not were permitted to defer 50% of their State fiscal year2010 recommended pension contribution. This unfunded liability will be paid by the Local employers in levelannual payments over a period of 15 years with the first payment due in the fiscal year ending June 30,2012. The unfunded liability will be adjusted by the rate of return on the actuarial value of assets. The leg-islation also provides that a Local employer may pay 100% of the recommended contributions for State fis-cal years 2009 and 2010. Such an employer will be credited with the full payments and any such amountswill not be included in their unfunded liability.

The underlying demographic data is maintained and provided by the New Jersey Division of Pensions andBenefits. The data is analyzed by Buck Consultants, for internal completeness and consistency and comparedwith the prior valuation data to again ensure consistency.

As stipulated in the statutes, an actuarial investigation of the demographic experience of the members andbeneficiaries of PERS is made once in every three-year period. The contributions for the fiscal year begin-ning July 1, 2012 were based on the actuarial assumptions that were determined from the July 1, 2005 toJune 30, 2008 Experience Study and approved by the Board of Trustees. As mandated by the Statutes, theseassumptions will remain in effect for valuation purposes until such time the Board adopts revised demo-graphic assumptions.

The Treasurer, upon recommendation from the Directors of the Division of Pensions and Benefits and theDivision of Investments, has recommended a change in the economic assumptions used for the valuation.The rate of investment return has been revised from 8.25% per annum to 7.95% per annum, and theassumed salary increases have been reduced by 2.00% per annum for fiscal year ending 2012 through fis-cal year ending 2016 and reduced by 0.75% per annum for fiscal years ending 2017 and thereafter. Theseeconomic assumptions will remain in effect for valuation purposes until such time as the Treasurer recom-mends revised economic assumptions.

The valuation cost method used is the projected unit credit method. This method essentially funds theSystem’s benefits accrued to the valuation date. Experience gains and losses are recognized in futureaccrued liability contributions. The asset valuation method used was a five-year average of market valueswith write-up. This method takes into account appreciation (depreciation) in investments in order to smoothasset values by averaging the excess of the actual over the expected income, on a market value basis, overa five-year period.

The valuation does not take into account any changes in U.S. equity prices and bond yields that haveoccurred after the valuation date. Taking these into account may significantly change the market and actu-arial value of assets shown. The effect of these events on any funded ratios shown, and on RetirementSystem calculations, is not known. Retirement System funding and financial accounting rules generally pro-hibit reflection of changes in assets and underlying economic conditions that occur after the valuation date.

The assumptions used to prepare the information required by Statements No. 25, No. 27 and No. 50 of theGovernmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) were the same as those used for funding purposes.

New Jersey Division of Pensions and Benefits 129

In our opinion, the attached schedules of valuation results fairly represent the status of the PERS and pres-ent an accurate view of historical data. The underlying assumptions and methods used for both funding andGASB disclosure purposes are consistent with the statutory specifications and represent a best estimate ofthe aggregate future experience of the System.

The following supporting schedules in the Actuarial Section were prepared by Buck Consultants:

• Summary of Actuarial Assumptions and Methods

• Schedule of Retired Members and Beneficiaries Added To and Removed From Rolls

• Schedule of Active Member Valuation Data

• Solvency Test

• Analysis of Past Financial ExperienceReconciliation of Employer Contribution Rates

• Brief Summary of the Benefit and Contribution Provisions as Interpreted for Valuation Purposes

In addition, Buck Consultants prepared the “Schedule of Funding Progress” and the “Schedule of EmployerContributions” in the Financial Section.

To the best of our knowledge, this information is complete and accurate. The valuation was performed by,and under the supervision of, independent qualified actuaries who are members of the American Academyof Actuaries with experience in performing valuations for public retirement systems.

The valuation was prepared in accordance with the principles of practice prescribed by the ActuarialStandards Board and generally accepted actuarial procedures and methods. The calculations are based onthe current provisions of the Retirement System, and on actuarial assumptions that are individually and inthe aggregate internally consistent and reasonable based on the actual experience of the Retirement System.

Respectfully submitted,

SUMMARY OF ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS

Section 19 of Chapter 15A of the New Jersey Statutes provides that once in every three-year period the actuaryshall examine in detail the demographic experience of the members and beneficiaries of the PERS to assure thatthe tables used for determining expected liabilities are consistent with recent experience.

The demographic assumptions used for the July 1, 2011 actuarial valuation of the PERS were based on the resultsof the experience study, which covered the period from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2008, which were approved bythe Board of Trustees, and the revised economic assumptions, which were recommended by the Treasurer.

An outline of the actuarial assumptions and methods used for the July 1, 2011 valuation is as follows:

Valuation Interest Rate: 7.95% per annum, compounded annually.

Employee Contribution Rate: 7.95% per annum.

COLA: No future COLA is assumed.

Separations From Service and Salary Increases: Representative values of the assumed annual rates of separationand annual rates of salary increases are as follows:

zation period for the unfunded accrued liability, unless an increase in the amortization period will cause itto exceed 20 years. If an increase in the amortization period as a result of actuarial losses for a valuationyear would exceed 20 years, the accrued liability contribution shall be computed for the valuation year usinga 20 year amortization period.

Chapter 78, P.L. 2011 increases the member contribution rate from 5.5% to 6.5% of compensation with theincrease effective October 2011. Further, beginning July 2012, the member contribution rate will increase by1/7th of 1% each year until a 7.5% member contribution rate is reached in July 2018. Based on discussionswith the Division of Pensions and Benefits, member contributions in excess of 5.5% of compensation shallnot reduce the employers’ normal cost contributions.

Expenses: Payable from excess investment return.

Asset Valuation Method: A five-year average of market values with write-up was used. This method takes intoaccount appreciation (depreciation) in investments in order to smooth asset values by averaging the excessof the actual over the expected income, on a market value basis, over a five-year period.

By Employers:

NORMAL CONTRIBUTION

The State and Local employers pay annually a nor-mal contribution to the retirement System. Thiscontribution is determined each year on the basisof the annual valuation and represents the value ofthe benefits to be earned in the year following thevaluation date. The normal contributions foractive members’ COLA are being phased in.Chapter 78, P.L. 2011 suspended future COLAs forcurrent and future retirees and beneficiaries untilreactivated as permitted by law.

In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 79, P.L.1960, the monies appropriated for payment of thenon-contributory life insurance coverage shall beheld separate from the retirement System monies.

In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 133,P.L. 2001, the Benefit Enhancement Fund (BEF)was established to fund the additional annualemployer normal contribution due to the law’sincreased benefits. (Chapter 353, P.L. 2001extended this coverage to this law’s additional

annual employer normal contribution.) If theassets in the BEF are insufficient to cover thenormal contribution for the increased benefits fora valuation period, the State will pay suchamount for both the State and local employers.

In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 259,P.L. 2001, the additional normal contributions forincreased benefits to judges of compensation for avaluation period will be funded by transfers fromthe Second Injury Fund.

Chapter 19, P.L. 2009 provides that the StateTreasurer will reduce for Local employers the nor-mal contribution to 50% of the amount certifiedfor fiscal year 2009. This unfunded liability will bepaid by the Local employers in level annual pay-ments over a period of 15 years with the first pay-ment due in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.The unfunded liability will be adjusted by the rateof return on the actuarial value of assets. The leg-islation also provides that a Local employer maypay 100% of the recommended contribution forfiscal year 2009. Local employers who were eligi-ble but did not elect to take advantage of Chapter19, P.L. 2009 were permitted to elect to defer 50%of the 2010 fiscal year required contribution withthe first payment due in the fiscal year endingJune 30, 2012.

ACCRUED LIABILITY CONTRIBUTIONS

The State and Local employers pay contributionsto cover any unfunded accrued liability. Anunfunded accrued liability was established foractive life COLAs. The amortization periods forfunding these liabilities were set initially at 40years. Experience gains or losses for the 10 val-uation years following the March 31, 1992 valua-tion will increase or decrease the unfundedaccrued liability. Thereafter, actuarial gains orlosses will increase or decrease the amortizationperiod unless an increase will cause it to exceed30 years. Chapter 78, P.L. 2011 suspended futureCOLAs for current and future retirees and benefici-aries until reactivated as permitted by law andchanged the methodology used to amortize the

unfunded accrued liability. Beginning with theJuly 1, 2010 actuarial valuation, the accrued lia-bility contribution shall be computed so that if thecontribution is paid annually in level dollars, itwill amortize the unfunded accrued liability overan open 30 year period. Beginning with the July1, 2019 actuarial valuation, the accrued liabilitycontribution shall be computed so that if the con-tribution is paid annually in level dollars it willamortize the unfunded accrued liability over aclosed 30 year period (i.e., for each subsequentactuarial valuation, the amortization period shalldecrease by one year). Beginning with the July 1,2029 actuarial valuation when the remainingamortization period reaches 20 years, any increaseor decrease in the unfunded accrued liability as aresult of actuarial losses or gains for subsequentvaluation years shall serve to increase or decrease,respectively, the amortization period for theunfunded accrued liability, unless an increase inthe amortization period will cause it to exceed 20years. If an increase in the amortization period asa result of actuarial losses for a valuation yearwould exceed 20 years, the accrued liability con-tribution shall be computed for the valuation yearusing a 20 year amortization period.

Chapter 366, P.L. 2001 requires the State be liablefor any increase in pension costs to a county thatresults from the enrollment of prosecutors in the

Prosecutors Part. Any increase in the unfundedaccrued liability in the Retirement System arisingfrom the benefits established for the ProsecutorsPart are to be amortized over a period of 30 yearsin the manner provided for other such liability inthe Retirement System.

In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 259,P.L. 2001, the additional accrued liability contri-bution for increased benefits to judges of compen-sation for a valuation period will be funded bytransfers from the Second Injury Fund.

Chapter 19, P.L. 2009 provides that the StateTreasurer will reduce for Local employers theaccrued liability contribution to 50% of theamount certified for fiscal year 2009. This unfund-ed liability will be paid by the Local employers inlevel annual payments over a period of 15 yearswith the first payment due in the fiscal year end-ing June 30, 2012. The unfunded liability will beadjusted by the rate of return on the actuarialvalue of assets. The legislation also provides thata Local employer may pay 100% of the recommend-ed contribution for fiscal year 2009. Local employ-ers who were eligible but did not elect to defer50% of the 2009 fiscal year contribution were per-mitted to elect to defer 50% of the 2010 fiscal yearcontribution with the first payment due in the fis-cal year ending June 30, 2012.

Board of TrusteesTeachers' Pension and Annuity Fund

of New Jersey

Re: Actuary’s Certification Letter

Members of the Board:

This letter constitutes the actuary’s certification letter for the Comprehensive Annual FinancialReport (CAFR) of the Teachers’ Pension and Annuity Fund of New Jersey (TPAF). It reflects theresults of the revised June 30, 2011 Annual Actuarial Valuation (dated June 12, 2012) of TPAF.Please refer to the entire Actuarial Valuation report for more information.

This valuation reflects changes to two key actuarial assumptions: 1) a decrease in the investmentreturn assumption from 8.25% per year to 7.95% per year, and 2) a decrease to the salaryincrease assumption to average a 2.0% reduction for five years beginning July 1, 2011 and a0.75% reduction thereafter.

The funding requirements of the plan, as modified by Chapter 1, P.L. 2010, and Chapter 78, P.L.2011, is to have the State phase-in to paying 100% of the statutorily required contribution overa 7-year period beginning with fiscal year 2012. These contributions cover the normal cost of theplan plus a 30-year level dollar amortization of the unfunded pension accrued liability. The max-imum amortization period will be reduced by one each year beginning with the 2021 fiscal year,but not less than 20 years (the 2030 fiscal year).

Since the 2004 fiscal year, the State has not met the full statutory contribution requirement.Actual contributions by the State for fiscal year 2012 also did not meet the full statutory contri-bution requirements. In accordance with Chapter 1, P.L. 2010, 100% of the statutorily requiredcontribution is not expected to be contributed by the State until fiscal year 2018. The followingdescribes the allocation of the State contributions appropriated for fiscal years 2012 and 2013.

The State appropriated $318,320,443 for the 2012 fiscal year which represents 1/7th of the statu-tory pension and State ERI-3 contributions plus 100% of the actual non-contributory group lifeinsurance claims. For fiscal year 2013, it is our understanding that the State will appropriate2/7ths of the statutory pension and State ERI-3 contributions plus an amount to cover 100% ofthe actual non-contributory group life insurance claims, which is estimated to total$647,242,344. Please note that ERI contributions are not included in the CAFR in accordance withGASB accounting. Therefore, the resulting contributions are $317,927,358 (14.01% of the ARC)for fiscal year 2012 and $646,427,143 (27.72% of the ARC) for fiscal year 2013.

The valuation was based on a set of demographic actuarial assumptions (described in detail inthe section headed “Summary of Actuarial Assumptions and Methods”) which was adopted by theBoard of Trustees as a result of a study of actual experience under the Teachers’ Pension AnnuityFund during the 3-year period ending June 30, 2009. The valuation was also based on a set ofeconomic assumptions as prescribed by the State Treasurer, specifically an investment returnassumption of 7.95%, and a modification to the salary increase assumption. Based on our mostrecent analysis, this assumption is higher than our best estimate of future returns, but falls with-in the optimistic end of our reasonable range. The demographic actuarial assumptions and meth-ods used for funding purposes meet the parameters set forth in Governmental AccountingStandards Board (GASB) Statement No. 25 except with respect to the funding of the contributo-ry and non-contributory group life benefits. The Annual Required Contribution shown on theattached exhibit reflects an actuarial determination of the contributory and non-contributorygroup life benefits.

We performed a limited review of the data used directly in our analysis for reasonableness andconsistency and have not found material defects in the data. If there are material defects in thedata, it is possible that they would be uncovered by a detailed, systematic review and compari-son of the data to search for data values that are questionable or for relationships that are mate-rially inconsistent. Such a review was beyond the scope of our assignment.

Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presentedin this analysis due to actual plan experience deviating from the actuarial assumptions, andchanges in plan provisions, actuarial assumptions, and applicable law. An assessment of thepotential range and cost effect of such differences is beyond the scope of this analysis.

I am a member of the American Academy of Actuaries and meet its Qualification Standard to ren-der this actuarial opinion.

For Class F and G members assumed to receive a disability benefit under Chapter 3, P.L. 2010, it is assumedthat Class F members will begin receiving their retirement benefit at the earlier of age 70 or 36 years of serv-ice and Class G members will begin receiving their retirement benefit at age 70. The valuation excludes ben-efits paid from any disability income policy prior to retirement since these benefits are not paid from TPAF.

Pre-retirement Mortality: Illustrative rates of mortality of active members which vary by age and gender areshown below. A generational approach is applied using Scale AA to account for future mortality improvement.The base year is 2000. Illustrative rates for the base year are shown below.

SUMMARY OF ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS, Continued

A. Actuarial Assumptions, Continued

Non-contributory Members: 30% are assumed to return to contributory status.

Beneficiaries: 100% of active members are assumed to have a beneficiary for receipt of the lump sum deathbenefit or employee contribution refund upon death.

Form of Payment: Modified Cash Refund Annuity.

Special Data Adjustments: Determination of employee type is based on Class Code and was used as provid-ed by the Division. Active members where no salary was provided, no date of birth was provided, or ASF wasnegative were excluded from the valuation. A liability equal to the ASF was held. For beneficiaries where nogender code or date of birth was provided, reasonable assumptions were made based on records provided inprior years or the deceased retiree’s records. For retirees with a joint annuitant option code that was miss-ing a spouse’s date of birth, husbands are assumed to be 3 years older than wives. All such records wereincluded in the valuation. Retiree members where no benefit and monthly allowance was provided, or nocause, class, or option was provided were excluded from the valuation.

B. Actuarial Valuation Method: The projected Unit Credit Method was used as required by Chapter 62, P.L. 1994as modified by Chapters 115, P.L. 1997 and 133, P.L. 2001. Non-contributory life insurance benefits are fund-ed on a term cost basis.

C. Asset Valuation Method: A five year average of market value with write-up was used. This method takes intoaccount appreciation (depreciation) in investments in order to smooth asset values by averaging the excessof the actual over the expected income, on a market value basis, over a five year period. Cash flows are basedon an accrual accounting approach. This method is prescribed by statute. The market value of assets is usedfor the Contributory Group Insurance Premium Fund for GASB purposes.

Due to the addition of a new tier (Class G), separate retirement rate assumptions from employment and upontermination of disability were included in the valuation.

The interest rate has been decreased from 8.25% to 7.95% per the State Treasurer and the salary increaseassumption has been decreased 2% for a 5-year period (2011-2016) and 0.75% thereafter.

Board of TrusteesPolice and Firemen’s Retirement System

of New Jersey

Re: Actuary’s Certification Letter

Members of the Board:

An actuarial valuation of the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System is performed annually tomeasure the ongoing costs of the System (with required contributions determined separately forthe State and Local employers) and the progress towards the funding goals of the System overtime. In general, the financial goal of the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System is a patternof contributions, which is sufficient to cover the normal cost of the System plus the contributiontowards the unfunded accrued liability.

In accordance with the New Jersey statutes, employers are required to make two contributions tothe System, a normal contribution and an accrued liability contribution. The normal contribu-tion for basic allowances and cost of living adjustments (COLA’s) is defined under the ProjectedUnit Credit funding method as the present value of the benefits accruing during the current year.Prior to the July 1, 2010 valuation, the unfunded accrued liability contribution for basicallowances and COLA’s was determined as a level percentage of pay required to amortize theunfunded accrued liability over 30 years in annual payments increasing by 4% per year. The fund-ing reform provisions of Chapter 78, P.L. 2011 changed the methodology used to amortize theunfunded accrued liability. Beginning with the July 1, 2010 actuarial valuation, the accrued lia-bility contribution shall be computed so that if the contribution is paid annually in level dollars,it will amortize the unfunded accrued liability over an open 30 year period. Beginning with theJuly 1, 2018 actuarial valuation, the accrued liability contribution shall be computed so that ifthe contribution is paid annually in level dollars it will amortize the unfunded accrued liabilityover a closed 30 year period (i.e., for each subsequent actuarial valuation, the amortization peri-od will decrease by one year.) Beginning with the July 1, 2028 actuarial valuation when theremaining amortization period reaches 20 years, any increase or decrease in the unfunded accruedliability as a result of actuarial losses or gains for subsequent valuation years shall serve toincrease or decrease, respectively, the amortization period for the unfunded accrued liability,unless an increase in the amortization period will cause it to exceed 20 years. If an increase inthe amortization period as a result of actuarial losses for a valuation year would exceed 20 years,the accrued liability contribution shall be computed for that valuation year using a 20 year amor-tization period.

Beginning with the July 1, 2010 valuation, the State decided to reduce the lag period betweenthe valuation year and the contribution from three years to two years which brought the Systemin line with the other New Jersey Systems which also have a two year lag period. Therefore, theJuly 1, 2011 valuation shows the financial condition of the System as of July 1, 2011 and givesthe basis for determining the recommended annual contributions to be made for the fiscal yearending June 30, 2013.

The valuation reflects the final provisions of the Appropriation Act for fiscal year 2011 (for theJuly 1, 2008 valuation, the State recommended pension contribution amount of $339,480,900was reduced to $0).

Page 167: DIVISION OF PENSIONS AND BENEFITS · Benefits Processing — TO provide benefits to clients in a timely and efficient manner. Advocacy — TO help structure a well-funded system of

New Jersey Division of Pensions and Benefits 165

The valuation reflects the funding reform provisions of Chapter 1, P.L. 2010. Chapter 1, P.L. 2010allows the State Treasurer to phase in to the full recommended pension contribution. The Statewould be in compliance with its funding requirement provided the State makes a payment of atleast 1/7th of the full contribution, as computed by the actuaries, in the State fiscal year com-mencing July 1, 2011 and makes a payment in each subsequent fiscal year that increases by atleast an additional 1/7th until payment of the full contribution is made in the seventh fiscal yearand thereafter. Therefore, the fiscal year 2012 recommended State pension contribution of$375,234,766 has been reduced to $53,604,967 and has been recognized as a receivable contri-bution for purposes of this valuation. This amount may be subject to change per the requirementsof the State’s fiscal year 2012 spending plan.

The valuation reflects Chapter 19, P.L. 2009, which allowed the State Treasurer to reduce Localemployers’ normal and accrued liability contributions to 50% of the amount certified for the Statefiscal year 2009. In addition, certain Local employers who were eligible under Chapter 19, P.L.2009 to defer 50% of their State fiscal year 2009 pension contribution but did not were permit-ted to defer 50% of their State fiscal year 2010 recommended pension contribution. This unfund-ed liability will be paid by the Local employers in level annual payments over a period of 15 yearswith the first payment due in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. The unfunded liability willbe adjusted by the rate of return on the actuarial value of assets. The legislation also providesthat a Local employer may pay 100% of the recommended contributions for State fiscal years2009 and 2010. Such an employer will be credited with the full payments and any such amountswill not be included in their unfunded liability.

The valuation reflects the unauthorized early retirement incentive programs offered by certainLocal employers. The additional liability incurred by the System due to these programs is includ-ed as a receivable contribution.

The underlying demographic data is maintained and provided by the New Jersey Division ofPensions and Benefits. The data is analyzed by Buck Consultants for internal completeness andconsistency and compared with the prior valuation data to again ensure consistency.

As stipulated in the statutes, an actuarial investigation of the demographic experience of themembers and beneficiaries of the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System is made once in everythree-year period. The July 1, 2011 valuation was based on the actuarial assumptions that weredetermined from the July 1, 2007 – June 30, 2010 Experience Study (which was approved by theBoard of Trustees at the November 14, 2011 Board meeting). As mandated by the Statutes, theseassumptions will remain in effect for valuation purposes until such time the Board adopts reviseddemographic assumptions.

The Treasurer, upon recommendation from the Directors of the Division of Pensions and Benefitsand the Division of Investments, has recommended a change in the economic assumptions usedfor the valuation. The rate of investment return has been revised from 8.25% per annum to 7.95%per annum, and the assumed salary increases have been reduced by 2.00% per annum for fiscalyear ending 2012 through fiscal year ending 2016 and reduced by 0.75% per annum for fiscalyears ending 2017 and thereafter. These economic assumptions will remain in effect for valuationpurposes until such time as the Treasurer recommends revised economic assumptions

The valuation cost method used is the projected unit credit method. This method essentiallyfunds the System’s benefits accrued to the valuation date. Experience gains and losses are rec-ognized in future accrued liability contributions. The asset valuation method used was a five-yearaverage of market values with write-up. This method takes into account appreciation (deprecia-tion) in investments in order to smooth asset values by averaging the excess of the actual overthe expected income, on a market value basis, over a five-year period.

The valuation does not take into account any changes in U.S. equity prices and bond yields thathave occurred after the valuation date. Taking these into account may significantly change the

Page 168: DIVISION OF PENSIONS AND BENEFITS · Benefits Processing — TO provide benefits to clients in a timely and efficient manner. Advocacy — TO help structure a well-funded system of

166 New Jersey Division of Pensions and Benefits

market and actuarial value of assets shown. The effect of these events on any funded ratiosshown, and on Retirement System calculations, is not known. Retirement System funding andfinancial accounting rules generally prohibit reflection of changes in assets and underlying eco-nomic conditions that occur after the valuation date.

The assumptions used to prepare the information required by Statements No. 25, No. 27 and No.50 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) were the same as those used for fund-ing purposes.

In our opinion, the attached schedules of valuation results fairly represent the status of the Policeand Firemen’s Retirement System and present an accurate view of historical data. The underlyingassumptions and methods used for both funding and GASB disclosure purposes are consistent withthe statutory specifications and represent a best estimate of the aggregate future experience ofthe System.

The following supporting schedules in the Actuarial Section were prepared by Buck Consultants:

• Summary of Actuarial Assumptions and Methods

• Schedule of Retired Members and Beneficiaries Added To and Removed From Rolls

• Schedule of Active Member Valuation Data

• Solvency Test

• Analysis of Past Financial Experience

Reconciliation of Employer Contribution Rates

• Brief Summary of the Benefit and Contribution Provisions as Interpreted for Valuation Purposes

In addition, Buck Consultants prepared the “Schedule of Funding Progress” and the “Schedule ofEmployer Contributions” in the Financial Section.

To the best of our knowledge, this information is complete and accurate. The valuation was per-formed by, and under the supervision of, independent qualified actuaries who are members of theAmerican Academy of Actuaries with experience in performing valuations for public retirement sys-tems.

The valuation was prepared in accordance with the principles of practice prescribed by theActuarial Standards Board and generally accepted actuarial procedures and methods. The calcu-lations are based on the current provisions of the Retirement System, and on actuarial assump-tions that are individually and in the aggregate internally consistent and reasonable based on theactual experience of the Retirement System.

SUMMARY OF ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS

Section 13, Subsection (13) of Chapter 255, P.L. 1944 as amended by Chapter 157, P.L. 1972 of the New JerseyStatutes provides that once in every three-year period the actuary shall examine in detail the demographic expe-rience of the members and beneficiaries of the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System to assure that the tablesused for determining expected liabilities are consistent with recent experience.

The July 1, 2011 actuarial valuation of the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System reflects the recognition of theactuarial assumptions determined from the July 1, 2007 – June 30, 2010 Experience Study which was approvedby the Board of Trustees at the November 14, 2011 Board meeting and the revised economic assumptions, whichwere recommended by the Treasurer.

An outline of the actuarial assumptions and methods used for the July 1, 2011 valuation is as follows:

Valuation Interest Rate: 7.95% per annum, compounded annually.

COLA: No future COLA is assumed.

SUMMARY OF ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS, Continued

Deaths After Retirement: RP-2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Tables for service retirements and beneficiariesprojected on a generational basis using projection Scale AA. Special mortality tables are used for the period afterdisability retirement. Representative values of the assumed annual rates of mortality are as follows:

Marriage: Husbands are assumed to be 3 years older than wives. Among the active population, 90% of partici-pants are assumed married. No children are assumed. Neither the percentage married nor the number of chil-dren assumption is individually explicit, but they are considered reasonable as a single combined assumption.

Valuation Method: Projected Unit Credit Method. This method essentially funds the System’s benefits accruedto the valuation date. Experience gains and losses are recognized in future accrued liability contributions. Inaccordance with Chapter 78, P.L. 2011, beginning with the July 1, 2010 actuarial valuation, the accrued liabili-ty contribution shall be computed so that if the contribution is paid annually in level dollars, it will amortize theunfunded accrued liability over an open 30 year period. Beginning with the July 1, 2018 actuarial valuation, theaccrued liability contribution shall be computed so that if the contribution is paid annually in level dollars it willamortize the unfunded accrued liability over a closed 30 year period (i.e., for each subsequent valuation, theamortization period shall decrease by one year.) Beginning with the July 1, 2028 actuarial valuation, when theremaining amortization period reaches 20 years, any increase or decrease in the unfunded accrued liability as aresult of actuarial losses or gains for subsequent valuation years shall serve to increase or decrease, respective-ly, the amortization period for the unfunded accrued liability, unless an increase in the amortization period willcause it to exceed 20 years. If an increase in the amortization period as a result of actuarial losses for a valua-tion year would exceed 20 years, the accrued liability contribution shall be computed for the valuation year usinga 20 year amortization period.

Board of TrusteesState Police Retirement System

of New Jersey

Re: Actuary’s Certification Letter

Members of the Board:

An actuarial valuation of the State Police Retirement System is performed annually to meas-ure the ongoing costs of the System and the progress towards the funding goals of the Systemover time. In general, the financial goals of the State Police Retirement System are a patternof contributions, which is sufficient to cover the normal cost of the System plus the contri-bution towards the unfunded accrued liability.

In accordance with the New Jersey statutes, employers are required to make two contributionsto the System, a normal contribution and an accrued liability contribution. The normal con-tribution for basic allowances and cost of living adjustments (COLA’s) is defined under theProjected Unit Credit funding method as the present value of the benefits accruing during thecurrent year. Prior to the July 1, 2010 valuation, the unfunded accrued liability contributionfor basic allowances and COLA’s was determined as a level percentage of pay required to amor-tize the unfunded accrued liability over 30 years in annual payments increasing by 4.0% peryear. The funding reform provisions of Chapter 78, P.L. 2011 changed the methodology usedto amortize the unfunded accrued liability. Beginning with the July 1, 2010 actuarial valua-tion, the accrued liability contribution shall be computed so that if the contribution is paidannually in level dollars, it will amortize the unfunded accrued liability over an open 30 yearperiod. Beginning with the July 1, 2019 actuarial valuation, the accrued liability contributionshall be computed so that if the contribution is paid annually in level dollars it will amortizethe unfunded accrued liability over a closed 30 year period (i.e., for each subsequent actuar-ial valuation, the amortization period shall decrease by one year). Beginning with the July 1,2029 actuarial valuation when the remaining amortization period reaches 20 years, anyincrease or decrease in the unfunded accrued liability as a result of actuarial losses or gainsfor subsequent valuation years shall serve to increase or decrease, respectively, the amortiza-tion period for the unfunded accrued liability, unless an increase in the amortization periodwill cause it to exceed 20 years. If an increase in the amortization period as a result of actu-arial losses for a valuation year would exceed 20 years, the accrued liability contribution shallbe computed for the valuation year using a 20 year amortization period.

The valuation reflects the final provisions of the Appropriation Act for fiscal year 2011. Thefiscal year 2011 recommended pension contribution of $103,745,281 has been reduced to $0.

The valuation reflects the funding reform provisions of Chapter 1, P.L. 2010. Chapter 1, P.L.2010 allows the State Treasurer to phase in to the full recommended pension contribution.The State would be in compliance with its funding requirement provided the State makes apayment of at least 1/7th of the full contribution, as computed by the actuaries, in the Statefiscal year commencing July 1, 2011 and makes a payment in each subsequent fiscal year thatincreases by at least an additional 1/7th until payment of the full contribution is made in theseventh fiscal year and thereafter. Therefore, the fiscal year 2012 recommended State pensioncontribution of $89,671,744 has been reduced to $12,810,249 and has been recognized as areceivable contribution for purposes of this valuation. This amount may be subject to changeper the requirements of the State’s fiscal year 2012 spending plan.

Page 181: DIVISION OF PENSIONS AND BENEFITS · Benefits Processing — TO provide benefits to clients in a timely and efficient manner. Advocacy — TO help structure a well-funded system of

New Jersey Division of Pensions and Benefits 179

A contribution of $89,535,903 is recommended for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012. Thisamount is comprised of an unfunded accrued liability payment of $50,068,225 plus a normalcontribution of $39,467,678. However, the provisions of Chapter 1, P.L. 2010 allow the StateTreasurer to reduce the recommended pension contribution for fiscal year 2013 to no less than2/7th of the recommended pension contribution. Accordingly, the Chapter 1, P.L. 2010 mini-mum required pension contribution is $25,581,686. This is comprised of an unfunded accruedliability payment of $14,305,207 and a normal contribution of $11,276,479. This amount maybe subject to change per the requirements of the State’s fiscal year 2013 spending plan.

The underlying demographic data is maintained and provided by the New Jersey Division ofPensions and Benefits. The data is analyzed by Buck Consultants for internal completeness andconsistency and compared with the prior valuation data to again ensure consistency.

As stipulated in the statutes, an actuarial investigation of the demographic experience of themembers and beneficiaries of the State Police Retirement System is made once in every three-year period. The contributions for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012 were calculated usingthe demographic assumptions that were determined from the July 1, 2005 – June 30, 2008Experience Study and approved by the Board of Trustees at the May 2009 Board meeting. Asmandated by the Statutes, these assumptions will remain in effect for valuation purposes untilsuch time the Board adopts revised demographic assumptions.

The Treasurer, upon recommendation from the Directors of the Division of Pensions andBenefits and the Division of Investments, has recommended a change in the economicassumptions used for the valuation. The rate of investment return has been revised from8.25% per annum to 7.95% per annum, and the assumed future salary increases have beenrevised from 5.45% per annum to 3.45% per annum for fiscal year ending 2012 through fis-cal year ending 2016 and 4.70% per annum for fiscal years ending 2017 and thereafter. Theseeconomic assumptions will remain in effect for valuation purposes until such time theTreasurer recommends revised economic assumptions.

The valuation cost method used is the projected unit credit method. This method essentiallyfunds the System’s benefits accrued to the valuation date. Experience gains and losses are rec-ognized in future accrued liability contributions. The asset valuation method used was a five-year average of market values with write-up. This method takes into account appreciation(depreciation) in investments in order to smooth asset values by averaging the excess of theactual over the expected income, on a market value basis, over a five-year period.

The valuation does not take into account any changes in U.S. equity prices and bond yieldsthat have occurred after the valuation date. Taking these into account may significantlychange the market and actuarial value of assets shown. The effect of these events on anyfunded ratios shown, and on Retirement System calculations, is not known. RetirementSystem funding and financial accounting rules generally prohibit reflection of changes inassets and underlying economic conditions that occur after the valuation date.

The assumptions used to prepare the information required by Statements No. 25, No. 27 andNo. 50 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) were the same as those usedfor funding purposes.

In our opinion, the attached schedules of valuation results fairly represent the status of theState Police Retirement System and present an accurate view of historical data. The underly-ing assumptions and methods used for both funding and GASB disclosure purposes are consis-tent with the statutory specifications and represent a best estimate of the aggregate futureexperience of the System.

The following supporting schedules in the Actuarial Section were prepared by BuckConsultants:

In addition, Buck Consultants prepared the “Schedule of Funding Progress” and the “Scheduleof Employer Contributions” in the Financial Section.

To the best of our knowledge, this information is complete and accurate. The valuation wasperformed by, and under the supervision of, independent qualified actuaries who are membersof the American Academy of Actuaries with experience in performing valuations for publicretirement systems.

The valuation was prepared in accordance with the principles of practice prescribed by theActuarial Standards Board and generally accepted actuarial procedures and methods. The cal-culations are based on the current provisions of the Retirement System, and on actuarialassumptions that are individually and in the aggregate internally consistent and reasonablebased on the actual experience of the Retirement System.

SUMMARY OF ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS

Section 32 of Chapter 89, P.L. 1965 of the New Jersey Statutes provides that once in every three-year period theactuary shall examine in detail the demographic experience of the members and beneficiaries of the State PoliceRetirement System to assure that the tables used for determining expected liabilities are consistent with recentexperience.

The demographic assumptions used for the July 1, 2011 actuarial valuation of the State Police Retirement Systemwere based on the results of the experience study, which covered the period from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2008,which were approved by the Board of Trustees, and the revised economic assumptions, which were recommendedby the Treasurer.

An outline of the actuarial assumptions and methods used for the July 1, 2011 valuation is as follows:

Valuation Interest Rate: 7.95% per annum, compounded annually.

COLA: No future COLA is assumed.

Salary Increases: Salaries are assumed to increase by 3.45% per year for fiscal year ending 2012 through fiscalyear ending 2016 and 4.70% per year for fiscal years ending 2017 and thereafter.

Termination: Withdrawal rates vary by length of service. Illustrative rates are shown below:

Separations from Service: Representative mortality, disability, and retirement rates are as follows:

Marriage: Husbands are assumed to be 3 years older than wives. Among the active population, 83.3% of partic-ipants are assumed married. No children are assumed. Neither the percentage married nor number of childrenassumption is individually explicit but they are considered as a single combined assumption.

Valuation Method: Projected Unit Credit Method. This method essentially funds the System’s benefits accrued tothe valuation date. Experience gains and losses are recognized in future accrued liability contributions. In accor-dance with Chapter 78, P.L. 2011, beginning with the July 1, 2010 actuarial valuation, the accrued liability con-tribution shall be computed so that if the contribution is paid annually in level dollars, it will amortize theunfunded accrued liability over an open 30 year period. Beginning with the July 1, 2019 actuarial valuation, theaccrued liability contribution shall be computed so that if the contribution is paid annually in level dollars it willamortize the unfunded accrued liability over a closed 30 year period (i.e., for each subsequent valuation, theamortization period shall decrease by one year). Beginning with the July 1, 2029 actuarial valuation, when theremaining amortization period reaches 20 years, any increase or decrease in the unfunded accrued liability as aresult of actuarial losses or gains for subsequent valuation years shall serve to increase or decrease, respective-ly, the amortization period for the unfunded accrued liability, unless an increase in the amortization period willcause it to exceed 20 years. If an increase in the amortization period as a result of actuarial losses for a valua-tion year would exceed 20 years, the accrued liability contribution shall be computed for the valuation year usinga 20 year amortization period.

Chapter 78, P.L. 2011 increased the member contributions from 7.5% to 9.0% of compensation. Based on dis-cussions with the Division of Pension and Benefits, member contributions in excess of 7.5% of compensation shallnot reduce the State normal cost contribution.

Asset Valuation Method: A five-year average of market values with write-up. (This method takes into accountappreciation (depreciation) in investments in order to smooth asset values by averaging the excess of the actu-al over the expected income, on a market value basis, over a five-year period.)

Deaths After Retirement: For healthy inactive members and beneficiaries of deceased members the RP 2000Combined Healthy Male (set back 3 years) and RP 2000 Combined Healthy Female Mortality tables are used. Fordisabled members the RP 2000 Combined Healthy Male (set forward 5 years) and RP 2000 Combined HealthyFemale Mortality (set forward 5 years) tables are used.

of New Jersey

Re: Actuary’s Certification Letter

Members of the Commission:

An actuarial valuation of the Judicial Retirement System is performed annually to measure theongoing costs of the System and the progress towards the funding goals of the System over time.In general, the financial goals of the Judicial Retirement System are a pattern of contributions,which is sufficient to cover the normal cost of the System plus the contribution towards theunfunded accrued liability.

In accordance with the New Jersey statutes, employers are required to make two contributions tothe System, a normal contribution and an accrued liability contribution. The normal contributionfor basic allowances and cost of living adjustments (COLA’s) is defined under the Projected UnitCredit funding method as the present value of the benefits accruing during the current year. Priorto the July 1, 2010 valuation, the unfunded accrued liability contribution for basic allowances andCOLA’s was determined as a level percentage of pay required to amortize the unfunded accrued lia-bility over 30 years in annual payments increasing by 4.0% per year. The funding reform provi-sions of Chapter 78, P.L. 2011 changed the methodology used to amortize the unfunded accruedliability. Beginning with the July 1, 2010 actuarial valuation, the accrued liability contributionshall be computed so that if the contribution is paid annually in level dollars, it will amortize theunfunded accrued liability over an open 30 year period. Beginning with the July 1, 2019 actuar-ial valuation, the accrued liability contribution shall be computed so that if the contribution ispaid annually in level dollars it will amortize the unfunded accrued liability over a closed 30 yearperiod (i.e., for each subsequent actuarial valuation, the amortization period shall decrease by oneyear). Beginning with the July 1, 2029 actuarial valuation when the remaining amortization peri-od reaches 20 years, any increase or decrease in the unfunded accrued liability as a result of actu-arial losses or gains for subsequent valuation years shall serve to increase or decrease, respectively,the amortization period for the unfunded accrued liability, unless an increase in the amortizationperiod will cause it to exceed 20 years. If an increase in the amortization period as a result ofactuarial losses for a valuation year would exceed 20 years, the accrued liability contribution shallbe computed for the valuation year using a 20 year amortization period.

The valuation reflects the final provisions of the Appropriation Act for fiscal year 2011. The fis-cal year 2011 recommended pension contribution of $34,653,737 has been reduced to $0.

The valuation reflects the funding reform provisions of Chapter 1, P.L. 2010. Chapter 1, P.L.2010 allows the State Treasurer to phase in to the full recommended pension contribution. TheState would be in compliance with its funding requirement provided the State makes a paymentof at least 1/7th of the full contribution, as computed by the actuaries, in the State fiscal yearcommencing July 1, 2011 and makes a payment in each subsequent fiscal year that increases byat least an additional 1/7th until payment of the full contribution is made in the seventh fis-cal year and thereafter. Therefore, the fiscal year 2012 recommended State pension contributionof $38,352,572 has been reduced to $5,478,938 and has been recognized as a receivable con-tribution for purposes of this valuation. This amount may be subject to change per the require-ments of the State’s fiscal year 2012 spending plan.

Page 191: DIVISION OF PENSIONS AND BENEFITS · Benefits Processing — TO provide benefits to clients in a timely and efficient manner. Advocacy — TO help structure a well-funded system of

New Jersey Division of Pensions and Benefits 189

A contribution of $40,751,804 is recommended for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012. Thisis comprised of an unfunded accrued liability payment of $24,310,280 and a normal contribu-tion of $16,441,524. However, the provisions of Chapter 1, P.L. 2010 allows the State Treasurerto reduce the recommended pension contribution for fiscal year 2013 to no less than 2/7th ofthe recommended pension contribution. Accordingly, the Chapter 1, P.L. 2010 minimum requiredpension contribution is $11,643,372. This is comprised of an unfunded accrued liability pay-ment of $6,945,794 and a normal contribution of $4,697,578. This amount may be subject tochange per the requirements of the State’s fiscal year 2013 spending plan.

The underlying demographic data is maintained and provided by the New Jersey Division ofPensions and Benefits. The data is analyzed by Buck Consultants for internal completeness andconsistency and compared with the prior valuation data to again ensure consistency.

As stipulated in the statutes, an actuarial investigation of the demographic experience of themembers and beneficiaries of the Judicial Retirement System is made once in every three-yearperiod. The contributions for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012 were calculated using theactuarial assumptions that were determined from the July 1, 2005 – June 30, 2008 ExperienceStudy, which were approved by the State House Commission. As mandated by the Statutes, theseassumptions will remain in effect for valuation purposes until such time the State HouseCommission adopts revised demographic assumptions.

The Treasurer, upon recommendation from the Directors of the Division of Pensions and Benefitsand the Division of Investments, has recommended a change in the economic assumptions usedfor the valuation. The rate of investment return has been revised from 8.25% per annum to7.95% per annum, and the assumed future salary increases have been revised from 4.50% perannum to 2.50% per annum for fiscal year ending 2012 through fiscal year ending 2016 and3.75% per annum for fiscal years ending 2017 and thereafter. These economic assumptions willremain in effect for valuation purposes until such time the Treasurer recommends revised eco-nomic assumptions.

The valuation cost method used is the projected unit credit method. This method essentiallyfunds the System’s benefits accrued to the valuation date. Experience gains and losses are rec-ognized in future accrued liability contributions. The asset valuation method used was a five-year average of market values with write-up. This method takes into account appreciation(depreciation) in investments in order to smooth asset values by averaging the excess of theactual over the expected income, on a market value basis, over a five-year period.

The valuation does not take into account any changes in U.S. equity prices and bond yields thathave occurred after the valuation date. Taking these into account may significantly change themarket and actuarial value of assets shown. The effect of these events on any funded ratiosshown, and on Retirement System calculations, is not known. Retirement System funding andfinancial accounting rules generally prohibit reflection of changes in assets and underlying eco-nomic conditions that occur after the valuation date.

The assumptions used to prepare the information required by Statements No. 25, No. 27 and No.50 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) were the same as those used forfunding purposes.

In our opinion, the attached schedules of valuation results fairly represent the status of theJudicial Retirement System and present an accurate view of historical data. The underlyingassumptions and methods used for both funding and GASB disclosure purposes are consistentwith the statutory specifications and represent a best estimate of the aggregate future experi-ence of the System.

The following supporting schedules in the Actuarial Section were prepared by Buck Consultants:

In addition, Buck Consultants prepared the “Schedule of Funding Progress” and the “Schedule ofEmployer Contributions” in the Financial Section.

To the best of our knowledge, this information is complete and accurate. The valuation was per-formed by, and under the supervision of, independent qualified actuaries who are members ofthe American Academy of Actuaries with experience in performing valuations for public retire-ment systems.

The valuation was prepared in accordance with the principles of practice prescribed by theActuarial Standards Board and generally accepted actuarial procedures and methods. The calcu-lations are based on the current provisions of the Retirement System, and on actuarial assump-tions that are individually and in the aggregate internally consistent and reasonable based onthe actual experience of the Retirement System.

JUDICIAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM

SUMMARY OF ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS

Section 31 of Chapter 40, P.L. 1973 of the New Jersey Statutes provides that once in every three-year period theactuary shall examine in detail the demographic experience of the members and beneficiaries of the JudicialRetirement System to assure that the tables used for determining expected liabilities are consistent with recentexperience.

The demographic assumptions used for the July 1, 2011 actuarial valuation of the Judicial Retirement System werebased on the results of the experience study, which covered the period from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2008, whichwere approved by the State House Commission, and the revised economic assumptions, which were recommend-ed by the Treasurer.

An outline of the actuarial assumptions and methods used for the July 1, 2011 valuation is as follows:

Valuation Interest Rate: 7.95% per annum, compounded annually.

COLA: No future COLA is assumed.

Salary Increases: Salaries are assumed to increase by 2.50% per year for fiscal year ending 2012 through fiscalyear ending 2016 and 3.75% per year for fiscal years ending 2017 and thereafter.

Separations From Service: Representative mortality and disability rates are as follows:

SUMMARY OF ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS, Continued

Deaths After Retirement: RP-2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Tables (set back 5 years for males and 3 years forfemales) for service retirement and beneficiaries of former members. The RP-2000 Disability Mortality Tables (setforward 2 years for males and females) are used to value disabled retirees. There has been no provision made forfuture mortality improvement after the valuation date. Representative values of the annual rates of mortality areas follows:

Retirement: It was assumed that the probability of retirement at age 65 for those judges who have 12 or moreyears of judicial service at age 65 is at 25% per year. In addition, retirement for members who have attainedaged 60 with 20 years of judicial service or attained age 65 with 15 years judicial service is at 30% at age 60,25% at age 65 and 20% for all other ages between ages 60 and 70. At age 70, all remaining active members areassumed to retire.

Marriage: Husbands are assumed to be 3 years older than wives. Among the active population, 90% of partici-pants are assumed married. No children are assumed. Neither the percentage married nor the number of chil-dren assumption is individually explicit but are considered reasonable as a single combined assumption.

Valuation Method: Projected Unit Credit Method. This method essentially funds the System’s benefits accruedto the valuation date. Experience gains and losses are recognized in future accrued liability contributions. Inaccordance with Chapter 78, P.L. 2011, beginning with the July 1, 2010 actuarial valuation, the accrued liabili-ty contribution shall be computed so that if the contribution is paid annually in level dollars, it will amortize theunfunded accrued liability over an open 30 year period. Beginning with the July 1, 2019 actuarial valuation, theaccrued liability contribution shall be computed so that if the contribution is paid annually in level dollars, itwill amortize the unfunded accrued liability over a closed 30 year period (i.e., for each subsequent actuarial val-uation the amortization period shall decrease by one year.) Beginning with the July 1, 2029 actuarial valuation,when the remaining amortization period reaches 20 years, any increase or decrease in the unfunded accrued lia-bility as a result of actuarial losses or gains for subsequent valuation years shall serve to increase or decrease,respectively, the amortization period for the unfunded accrued liability, unless an increase in the amortizationperiod will cause it to exceed 20 years. If an increase in the amortization period as a result of actuarial lossesfor a valuation year would exceed 20 years, the accrued liability contribution shall be computed for the valua-tion year using a 20 year amortization period.

Chapter 78, P.L. 2011 increased the member contributions by 9% of salary, phased-in over a seven year period.Based on discussions with the Division of Pensions and Benefits, the increase in member contributions due toChapter 78, P.L. 2011 shall not reduce the State’s normal cost contribution.

Chapter 78, P.L. 2011 increased MemberContributions by 9% of salary phased-in over aperiod of seven years beginning October 2011.(The additional 9% of salary will be fully phased-in in July 2017.)

(a) For members enrolled prior to January 1, 1996:

(1) Member Contributions of 9% (phased-inover a period of seven years beginningOctober 2011) of the salary for that posi-tion on January 18, 1982.

CommissionConsolidated Police and Firemen’s Pension Fund

of New Jersey

Re: Actuary’s Certification Letter

Members of the Commission:

An actuarial valuation of the Consolidated Police and Firemen’s Pension Fund is performed annu-ally to measure the ongoing costs of the Fund and the progress towards the funding goals of theFund over time. Since the Pension Fund is closed to new entrants and there are no active par-ticipants, the financial goals of the Consolidated Police and Firemen’s Pension Fund are to ensurethat the combination of future State appropriations and current Trust assets, both projected for-ward with expected investment earnings, are sufficient to provide for all future benefit pay-ments.

The unfunded accrued liability for basic allowances was initially determined as of June 30, 1990and was to be amortized over a nine-year period. However, the provisions of Chapter 115, P.L.1997 of the Pension Security Legislation permitted the State to pay off the unfunded accruedliabilities from the proceeds of pension obligation bonds.

A contribution of $896,883 is recommended for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012. The nor-mal cost contribution is $0 and the unfunded accrued liability contribution is $896,883. Asnoted above, the latest unfunded accrued liability payment schedule required the amortizationof any plan gains or losses over the remainder of the nine-year period that began on June 30,1991. Without additional guidance, we have assumed the immediate payment of any unfundedaccrued liability. However, Chapter 1, P.L. 2010 allows the State Treasurer to reduce the fiscalyear 2013 recommended pension contribution to 2/7th of the recommended pension contribu-tion, which amounts to $256,252.

The recommended contribution for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012 was based on themethod described above using an interest rate of 2.00% per annum. The asset valuationmethod used was a five-year average of market values with write-up. This method takes intoaccount appreciation (depreciation) in investments in order to smooth asset values by averagingthe excess of the actual over the expected income, on a market value basis, over a five-yearperiod.

The underlying demographic data is maintained and provided by the New Jersey Division ofPensions and Benefits. The data is analyzed by Buck Consultants for internal completeness andconsistency and compared with the prior valuation data to again ensure consistency.

The valuation does not take into account any changes in U.S. equity prices and bond yields thathave occurred after the valuation date. Taking these into account may significantly change themarket and actuarial value of assets shown. The effect of these events on any funded ratiosshown, and on Fund calculations, is not known. The Fund’s funding and financial accountingrules generally prohibit reflection of changes in assets and underlying economic conditions thatoccur after the valuation date.

The assumptions used to prepare the information required by Statements No. 25, No. 27 and No.50 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) were the same as those used forfunding purposes.

In our opinion, the attached schedules of valuation results fairly represent the status of the

In addition, Buck Consultants prepared the “Schedule of Funding Progress” and the “Schedule ofEmployer Contributions” in the Financial Section.

To the best of our knowledge, this information is complete and accurate. The valuation was per-formed by, and under the supervision of, independent qualified actuaries who are members of theAmerican Academy of Actuaries with experience in performing valuations for public retirement sys-tems.

The valuation was prepared in accordance with the principles of practice prescribed by theActuarial Standards Board and generally accepted actuarial procedures and methods. The calcula-tions are based on the current provisions of the Fund, and on actuarial assumptions that are indi-vidually and in the aggregate internally consistent and reasonable based on the actual experienceof the Fund.

SUMMARY OF ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS

An outline of the actuarial assumptions and methods used for the July 1, 2011 valuation is as follows:

Valuation Interest Rate: 2.00% per annum, compounded annually for development of costs.

Deaths After Retirement: Rates vary by age. Representative values of the assumed rates of mortality are as follows:

Age

Lives per 1,000Service

PensionersDisabilityPensioners Widows

50 6.2 12.8 2.255 9.9 17.4 3.360 15.6 24.5 5.565 23.9 35.7 9.670 30.3 53.2 16.575 49.1 80.2 32.480 81.5 121.1 56.185 126.3 182.0 89.2

Marriage: Males are assumed to be 4 years older than females, no assumption was made as to children.

For those participants with listed beneficiaries, the beneficiary allowance was assumed to be the greater of twicethe amount contained in the record or the minimum benefit of $4,500/yr. (The information contained in therecord has not been updated for the change from 25% to 50% payment to the survivor.)

For those participants without listed beneficiaries, 65% were assumed to be married and the beneficiary amountwas assumed to be the minimum benefit payable ($4,500/yr.).

Actuarial Method: The unfunded accrued liability was measured as of June 30, 1990 and the accrued liabilitycontribution rate was then determined such that the unfunded accrued liability was to be amortized over a peri-od of nine years with contributions expected to remain constant.

In determining the unfunded accrued liability and the contribution rate, the actuarial value of assets as of June30, 1990 was based upon 100% of the market value of fund assets. For subsequent actuarial valuations, the actu-arial value of assets is adjusted to reflect actual contributions and benefit payments, an assumed rate of returnon the previous years’ assets and current years’ cash flow at an annual rate of 2.00% with an adjustment to reflect20% of the difference between the resulting value and the actual market value of Fund assets.

In developing the unfunded accrued liability contribution rate as of June 30, 1991 and subsequent years, thecontribution rate is adjusted to amortize any gains or losses over the remainder of the nine-year period. (Withoutadditional guidance, we have assumed that the unfunded accrued liability determined as of June 30, 2011 willbe amortized over one year.)

However, the provisions of Chapter 115, P.L. 1997 of the Pension Security Legislation per-mitted the State to pay off the unfunded accrued liability from the proceeds of pension obliga-tion bonds. The net effect of this legislation and plan experience was that no contributions wererequired for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012.

SUMMARY OF ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS

An outline of the actuarial assumptions and methods used for the July 1, 2011 valuation is as follows:

Valuation Interest Rate: 5.0% per annum, compounded annually.

Deaths After Retirement: Representative values of the assumed annual rates of mortality for current retirees areas follows:

Marriage: Husbands are assumed to be 3 years older than wives.

Valuation Method: The unfunded accrued liability (the difference between the present value of benefits and thevaluation assets) was determined as of July 1, 1988. This liability was amortized over the 14-year period begin-ning July 1, 1989, and ending on July 1, 2002. Each year the amortization payments were adjusted to reflectany experience gains or losses that occurred during the previous plan year. All gains and losses were amortizedover the remaining original amortization period. (Without any guidance, we have assumed that any unfundedaccrued liability that develops after the July 1, 2001 valuation will be amortized over 1 year.)

Asset Valuation Method: Assets are valued at book value, which is equivalent to market value.

CouncilSupplemental Annuity Collective Trust

of New Jersey

Re: Actuary’s Certification Letter

Members of the Council:

An actuarial valuation of the Supplemental Annuity Collective Trust is performed at least once inevery three-year period to measure the ongoing costs of the Trust and the progress towards thefunding goals of the Trust over time. The financial goals of the Supplemental Annuity CollectiveTrust are to ensure that current Trust assets are sufficient to provide for all future annuity pay-ments. The most recent valuation was prepared as of June 30, 2009.

The Supplemental Annuity Collective Trust of New Jersey was established under the provisions ofChapter 123, P.L. 1963, which was approved July 1, 1963. The act permits active members ofthe following retirement systems administered by the State of New Jersey to make voluntary addi-tional contributions through their retirement systems to purchase either a variable or fixed annu-ity to supplement the benefits provided by their systems.

Public Employees’ Retirement SystemTeachers’ Pension and Annuity FundThe Police and Firemen’s Retirement SystemConsolidated Police and Firemen’s Pension FundPrison Officers’ Pension FundState Police Retirement SystemJudicial Retirement System

As of the July 1, 2009 valuation, only the variable annuity program was in operation. It wasinaugurated July 1, 1964. Chapter 123, P.L. 1963 was amended June 6, 1965 by Chapter 90, P.L.1965, to permit eligible employees to enter into an agreement with their employers to reducetheir salaries and purchase annuities on their behalf which will qualify for the tax sheltered treat-ment permitted under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended. Therules were revised in 1982 to permit contributions in the form of qualified voluntary employeecontributions. These contributions are treated as IRA contributions for tax purposes.

The underlying demographic data is maintained and provided by the New Jersey Division ofPensions and Benefits. The data is analyzed by Buck Consultants for internal completeness andconsistency and compared with the prior valuation data to again ensure consistency.

The Trust status as of the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009 was based on the actuarial assump-tions and methods summarized on the following page. The mortality assumptions used for maleand female service retirements and dependents of active and retired members were not changedbased on the results of an investigation of mortality experience covering the period July 1, 2006to June 30, 2009. There were no changes in actuarial assumptions and methods since the pre-vious valuation.

The valuation does not take into account any changes in U.S. equity prices and bond yields thathave occurred after the valuation date. Taking these into account may significantly change themarket value of assets shown. The effect of these events on any Trust calculations is not known.Funding and financial accounting rules generally prohibit reflection of changes in assets and

underlying economic conditions that occur after the valuation date.

In our opinion, the attached schedules of valuation results fairly represent the status of theSupplemental Annuity Collective Trust and present an accurate view of historical data. The under-lying assumptions and methods used for the valuation are consistent with the statutory specifi-cations and represent a best estimate of the aggregate future experience of the Trust.

To the best of our knowledge, this information is complete and accurate. The valuation was per-formed by, and under the supervision of, independent qualified actuaries who are members of theAmerican Academy of Actuaries with experience in performing valuations for public retirementsystems.

The valuation was prepared in accordance with the principles of practice prescribed by theActuarial Standards Board and generally accepted actuarial procedures and methods. The calcu-lations are based on the current provisions of the Trust, and on actuarial assumptions that areindividually and in the aggregate internally consistent and reasonable based on the actual expe-rience of the Trust.

Respectfully submitted,

Buck Consultants

SUMMARY OF ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS

An outline of the actuarial assumptions and methods used for the July 1, 2009 valuation is as follows:

In addition, the valuation used the RP 2000 Combined Healthy Male (set back 5 years) and Female (set back 2years) Mortality Tables for service retirement and dependent beneficiaries. Special mortality tables were used forthe period after disability retirement. Illustrative rates of mortality used for valuation purposes are as follows:
