CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS <br />Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) <br />September 30, 2025 <br />IV. Detailed Nates„on All Activities and Funds (Continued) <br />F. Employee Retirement Systems and Plans (Continued) <br />1. Texas Municipal Retirement System (Continued) <br />The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined by weighing the <br />expected return for each major asset class by the respective target asset allocation percentage. The target <br />allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in <br />the following table: <br />Discount Rate <br />A single discount rate of 6.75% was used to measure the Total Pension Liability as of December 31, 2024. <br />This single discount rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 6.75%. <br />Based on the stated assumptions and the projection of cash flows the City's fiduciary net position and <br />future contributions were sufficient to finance the future benefit payments of current plan members for all <br />projection years. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied <br />to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the Total Pension Liability for the City. The <br />projection of cash flows used to determine the single discount rate for the City assumed that the funding <br />policy adopted by the TMRS Board will remain in effect for all future years. Under this funding policy, the <br />City will finance the unfunded actuarial accrued liability over the years remaining for the closed period <br />existing for each base in addition to the employer portion of all future benefit accruals (i.e., the employer's <br />normal cost). <br />54 <br />Long -Tenn Expected Real <br />Asset Class <br />Target Allocation <br />Rate of ReturnAnthmetic l <br />„ .____.... <br />Global Equity <br />35.0% <br />7.1% <br />Core Fixed Income <br />6.0% <br />5.0% <br />Non -Core Fixed Income <br />6.0% <br />6.8% <br />Other Private Markets <br />4.0% <br />7.3% <br />Real Estate <br />12.0% <br />6.7% <br />Hedge Funds <br />5.0% <br />6.4% <br />Private Equity <br />13.0% <br />8.5% <br />Private Debt <br />13.0% <br />8.2% <br />Infrastructure <br />6.0% <br />6.0% <br />Total <br />100.0% <br />Discount Rate <br />A single discount rate of 6.75% was used to measure the Total Pension Liability as of December 31, 2024. <br />This single discount rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 6.75%. <br />Based on the stated assumptions and the projection of cash flows the City's fiduciary net position and <br />future contributions were sufficient to finance the future benefit payments of current plan members for all <br />projection years.
