API: STUDY SHOWS OIL AND NATURAL GAS HOLDINGS KEY TO PUBLIC PENSION FUND PERFORMANCE IN ILLINOIS

摘要

State pension fund investments in oil and natural gas companies are providing strong returns for teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other public pension retirees in Illinois, according to a Sonecon study released by API. Returns on oil and natural gas assets in the top two state funds averaged 41 cents for each dollar invested compared to just 2 cents for other assets in these funds from 2005 to 2009.
