PSPRS maintains one of the nation’s most diversified public pension investment portfolios. Its portfolio structure and calculated use of alternative investments, such as private equity and private credit, is well-known and its results are respected by peer institutions, industry trade groups and financial media.
Peer pension plans, to various degrees, are also increasingly pursuing alternative strategies to help produce returns while minimizing the risk of investment losses that occur when public markets fluctuate.
PSPRS investments were able to achieve a 10.34 percent net of fee return during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, due to strong performance of domestic and international public equities. The returns on investment generated $2 billion of value for PSPRS-managed plans.
The PSPRS trust portfolio remains well-positioned for the future as staff continues to take a cautious approach to investing. The PSPRS trust held more than $21.8 billion as of June 30, 2024.
