Variable Fund
Does putting money in the Variable Fund make sense for you? You and your employer put money in to your WRS account to save for your future. The money in your account is then invested to increase your savings. By default, your money goes into the Core Fund, but you can choose to put half your money into the Variable Fund.
By the end of this presentation, you will be able to:
- Define Variable Trust Fund and explain how it works.
