SF 38 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Performance compensation-investment performance amendment.

This bill amends how investment performance is calculated for performance compensation paid to state investment staff. It changes the method used starting in fiscal year 2026: payments will now be based on the geometric average of annual investment performance for the current year and the two immediately preceding years (instead of the arithmetic average used for 2022-2025). The change directly affects state investment staff who receive performance-based compensation tied to investment returns. The amendment takes effect July 1, 2025.
