The results also come as CalPERS' general investment consultant, Wilshire Associates, has estimated that a 7.5% return won't be achievable over the next decade. The consulting firm has estimated a 6.4% yearly return during the next 10 years. Mr. Eliopoulos said CalPERS does not plan to move its periodic review of its rate of return, which is next scheduled to be determined at an investment committee meeting in February 2017.
