Variable Fund
Does putting money in the Variable Fund make sense for you? You and your employer put money in to your WRS account to save for your future.

By the end of this presentation, you will be able to:
- Define Variable Trust Fund and explain how it works.
- Analyze how the Variable Fund can affect your retirement benefit.
