Financial Performance

Return on investments that will fund future benefits

Attracting quality investments.We want to ensure that our current and future

investment partners do not lose confidence in our capacity to do the job based on

public opinion.

Community Relationships

Historically, the DPFPS has kept a low profile in the community andmedia.this has changed as all public entities are being held more

accountable within their community.

As a taxpayer funded state charter pension system.we are dependent on public

opinion and support both locally and by the State of Texas.

The long term viability of the Pension System is dependenton financial

performance but is influencedby community relationships.
