Summary
The Texas Permanent School Fund reported an 8.2% return for the 2025 fiscal year, according to Pensions & Investments. The headline figure is the main data point available in the source material, and the article does not provide further breakdown of asset-class performance, benchmark comparisons, or total fund value.
In a related pension story also published by Pensions & Investments, Rob Kozlowski reported that the Ohio School Employees Retirement System, based in Columbus, is planning a comprehensive review of its portfolio. The review is intended to determine the system's full exposure to artificial intelligence. The article notes that the move echoes concerns among other pension funds about correlation risk and the potential pitfalls of investing in new data center construction.
For institutional allocators, the two items together point to growing pension-fund attention to AI-linked exposures, both as a source of returns and as a concentration and correlation risk across portfolios.
