Washington State Retirement System provides state employees (such as University of Washington, Washington State University) a Washington State Plan 3 for school employees (SERS), public employees (PERS) and teachers (TRS). A participant could either choose to invest in Total Allocation Portfolio (TAP) that is managed by Washington State Investment Board (WSIB) or choose a self-directed option.

In the 'Build and Monitor' approach, its investment choices consist of a list of diversified funds and retirement strategy funds. The diversified funds include
- Money Market Fund. Evergreen Plans proxy fund: CASH

The following is the excessive trading policy:
To protect funds in the Self-Directed Investment Program from
the effects of excessive trading, a member transferring more
than $1,000 out of a fund is required to wait 30 calendar days
before transferring money back into that same fund. The 30 day
window is based on the last time you made a transfer out of the
fund. This restriction will not affect your regular contribution
or the ability to leave state service and withdraw contributions
and earnings from Plan 3. DRS periodically reviews trade data
to identify excessive trading. If DRS determines that existing
restrictions are not sufficiently addressing excessive trade
practices DRS, at its discretion, may take additional action. DRS
reserves the right to establish or revise restrictions to comply
with federal or state regulations, or as circumstances indicate.

Investment model portfolios
We provide two types of investment model portfolios for Washington State Retirement System Plan 3 participants. You can customize and follow a model portfolio in your plan account.
Types of portfolio strategies
- Strategic asset allocation portfolio: It invests in a diversified portfolio of multiple assets, buy-and-hold without frequently changing the asset allocation weights.
- Suitable: For long-term (more than 15 years, preferably more than 20 years), want to be tax efficient and can withstand interim drawdown or loss as high as 50% or more.
- Pros:
- Less error-prone
- Infrequent rebalancing or transactions
- Tax efficient for taxable brokerage investments
- Cons:
- Interim loss or drawdown can be substantial
- Possible low returns for an extended period, such as 10 years or longer
- Tactical asset allocation portfolio: it invests in a diversified portfolio of multiple assets, dynamically adjust stock and bond allocations to minimize losses during market stress.
- Suitable: For long-term (more than 10 years or preferably longer) capital. Investors are willing to rebalance as frequent as monthly.
- Pros:
- Reduce large interim loss or drawdown
- Less sensitive to investment entry point
- Likely to improve returns
- Cons
- Demand more frequent rebalancing or transactions
- Less tax efficient — more suitable in a tax-deferred account such as 401(k) or IRA
- Can experience a period of lower returns compared to a broad-based strategic allocation or a buy-and-hold benchmark, especially in some bull markets
These portfolios are proactively monitored and rebalanced on a monthly basis when needed, ensuring it remains in line with its target allocation.
