Teacher Retirement System of Texas Announces Retirement of Chief Investment Officer Jase Auby
AUSTIN — The Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) today announced that Chief Investment Officer Jase Auby will retire effective Jan. 31, 2027, concluding more than 17 years of service to TRS and its members, including seven years as CIO of the nation's sixth largest public pension investment fund.
Auby joined TRS in 2009 and was appointed chief investment officer in December 2019 after previously serving as deputy chief investment officer, chief risk officer and head of the Investment Management Division's Risk Group.
During his tenure as CIO, TRS achieved the strongest relative investment performance in its history. The investment team generated a 9.1 percent annualized return from December 31, 2019 through June 30, 2026, which was 1.3 percent annualized over the Trust's market benchmark. At the September 2026 TRS Board of Trustees meeting, Auby reported that the Trust ended the second quarter of 2026 with a one-year return of 16.5 percent.
"It has been an honor to serve the public education employees and retirees of Texas," Auby said. "After a great deal of thought, however, I've decided now is the right time for me to step away and give my full attention to my health and my family following my diagnosis of kidney cancer. I'm grateful that my current health outlook is stable, and I am approaching this next chapter with hope and happiness. I leave knowing the Investment Management Division is in an exceptionally strong position as they deliver on TRS' mission for our members."
Auby will continue serving as chief investment officer through Jan. 31, 2027, to support a seamless leadership transition.
