The largest state pension system said it made less than 1 percent on its investments during the budget year that ended June 30.
The Illinois Teachers’ Retirement System said Thursday it made just .76 percent on its more than $36 billion in assets during the state’s 2012 fiscal year.
The return was sharply lower than the 23.6 percent the system earned in 2011.
