TRS Ethics Policies and Forms

The Teacher Retirement System of Texas (“TRS”) is charged by the Texas Constitution and state law with the administration of pension and group health insurance funds held in trust for active and retired TRS members and their beneficiaries. Accordingly, its trustees, employees, and certain of its contractors have fiduciary duties commonly associated with pensions and other trusts.

These duties extend not only to the investment activities but also to the application of TRS benefit provisions, the establishment of actuarial assumptions, the collection of amounts owed the fund, and the general administration of TRS. This page contains relevant policies, forms and reference materials to understand and comply with standards of conduct expected of trustees, employees, and contractors in view of these duties.
