ACERA’s fund experienced a 16.2% gross investment return. Boosted by an extraordinary advance of unfunded liability contributions of $800.0 million and $12.6 million made by Alameda County and Livermore Area  \nRecreation and Park District respectively, ACERA’s net position increased by $2.2 billion to $11.8 billion as of December 31, 2021.  \nProviding you with retirement security is central to our mission. Even after strongly performing years like 2021, it’s important to remember that we’re able to provide retirement security through long-term investing. We’ve built an investment portfolio designed to generate returns over decades—rather than days, weeks, or months of market ups and downs. Over the last 15 years, we’ve earned an average annual return of 7.7% on our investments, a period which includes two major market downturns. Learn more at acera. org/investments.  \nWhile 2021 opened with the continuation of social hardships that began with the pandemic in 2020, optimism grew with Americans taking advantage of the newly available COVID-19 vaccines, bringing some welcome relief from the distancing, anxiety, and impact of the virus. During this time, we significantly expanded our ability to serve you remotely, but with our same standard of excellence.  \nThough we feel hopeful and the pandemic has somewhat eased, a top priority atACERA remains the health and wellbeing of our members, our employees, and our families. In order to keep ensuring your safety while serving your retirement needs, we’re encouraging members to continue connecting with us virtually whenever possible, thereby limiting visits to ACERA’s office. We’re regularly expanding our virtual services and educational resources to help you plan your retirement future. Visit acera.org to get started.  \nWe wish you and your family health and safety, and we’re excited to continue serving you!  \nSincerely,  \nDavid Nelsen,  \nChief Executive Officer  \nBoard of Retirement  \nJaime Godfrey CHAIR  \nAppointed by the Board of Supervisors  \nLiz Koppenhaver 1 ST VICE CHAIR  \nElected by Retired Members  \nOphelia B.
