Pension accounts down so far in ’05

Both major Wisconsin public employee retirement accounts are down from where they were in January, an annuity conference was told Tuesday.

The “fixed” account is down 1.75 percent since Jan. 1, and the “variable” account is down 3.8 percent, according to State Investment Board director David Mills.

“The markets have not been good for us,” said Mills. “We’ve got a hole to dig out of.”
