After finding out that the website had been down for a week, we were finally able to reconnect today.  It was frustrating but not as bad as many pension funds are discovering lower yields and weak stock markets.  Again, this is an appropriate time to review risk tolerance and perhaps where equity chips should be taken off the table.  Remember: the main goal is to meet the pension promise NOT outperform benchmarks.
