Pension index increased in February
Negative investment returns were more than offset by the reduction in liabilities due to a significant increase in discount rates. As a result, the end-of-February index level of 91.4 reflects an increase of 2.3% for the month.

The index reflects the asset/liability performance of a hypothetical benchmark pension plan, and provides an indicator of capital market effects on pension plan financing. Individual plan results will vary based on such factors as portfolio composition, investment management strategy, liability characteristics and contribution policy.
