Los Angeles Fire and Police Pensions (LAFPP) is reporting a return of 17.86 percent for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. LAFPP assets totaled $18.27 billion at the end of the fiscal year.

LAFPP’s 10-year investment return is 7.75 percent, while its 20-year return is 8.71 percent. LAFPP has a long-term investment horizon and uses an asset allocation which encompasses a strategic long-term perspective of the capital markets.
