CHARLESTON – West Virginia Retirement Plus has surpassed $200 million in assets, the continuation of a dramatic 10-year growth period.
As of Sept. 30 the plan possessed $200.2 million in total assets, a remarkable increase from the $68 million on hand when State Treasurer John Perdue’s office assumed control in July of 2006.
On June 30 it claimed 16,793 participants, more than triple the 5,022 in the plan when Treasurer Perdue took over. The $200 million asset milestone similarly represents a virtual tripling in dollar amount.
