N/A

The WTW Pension Index decreased in January 2023. This month’s change was a result of an increase in liabilities due to a decrease in discount rates which was partially offset by strong investment returns. As a result, the January 31, 2023 index level of 100.0 reflects a decrease of 1.3% for the month.
