CITY OF ROSEVILLE, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2016 Asset Class Domestic Stocks International Stock Bonds Alternative Assets Cash F. Discount Rate Long Term Target Expected Real Allocation Rate of Return 45% 15% 18°/a 20% 2% Total 100% 5.50% 6.00% 1.45% 6.40% �.5�% The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2016 was 7.5%, a reduction from the 7.9% used in 2015. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from Plan members and employers will be made at rates set in Minnesota Statutes. Based on those assumptions, the fiduciary net position of the General Employees Fund was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current Plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. In the Police and Fire Fund, the fiduciary net position was projected to be available to ma1�e all projected future benetit payments of current plan members through June 30, 2056. Beginning in fiscal years ended June 30, 2057 for the Police and Fire Fund, when projected benefit payments exceed the funds' projected fiduciary net position, benefit payments were discounted at the municipal bond rate of 2.85% based on an index of 20-year general obligation bonds with an average AA credit rating at the measurement date. An equivalent single discount rate of 5.60% for the Police and Fire Fund was determined that produced approximately the same present value of projected benefits when applied to all years of projected benefits as the present value of projected benefits using 7.50% applied to all years of projected benefits through the point of asset depletion and 2.85% after.
