New Partnership: NCPERS/SOA Public Pension Mortality Study
We are pleased to announce our new partnership with the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute to develop a study focusing on U.S. public pension plan mortality data. Sponsored by NCPERS, the study will analyze data from U.S. public pension systems spanning from 2022 to 2026 to create public sector-specific mortality tables for release in 2030.
We know the SOA actuarial data is referenced by many public pension plans and is essential to their long-term planning, so we are proud to be ensuring the continued creation of this essential tool for our community.

New Virtual Roundtables: Legal and Government Affairs Professionals

Please spread the word in your organization; interested pension professionals can sign up here.
In February, we launched a Government Affairs Roundtable to allow members working in advocacy and external affairs to connect with peers and crowd-source solutions to common challenges. Pension fund staff responsible for advocacy efforts and relationships with policymakers can participate by signing up here.

Reminder: 2025 Public Retirement Systems Study Available
Our thanks to the more than 200 pensions plans that participated in the NCPERS 2025 Public Retirement Systems Study. Each year, this study gathers the latest data on plans' fiscal, operational, and business practices, creating a key resource for public pensions to benchmark their performance against their peers. Members can access the final report and dashboard here.
The final report highlights top takeaways on investment trends and plan practices. The interactive dashboard allows members to customize the data set for comparison by number of staff, assets under management, and more to compare your plan against your peers.
Pension Industry Careers: Job Listings, Hiring, and Retirement Announcements
NCPERS maintains a homepage for all the latest industry job listings, new hires, and retirement announcements at our member pension funds, stakeholders, and service providers. We help our members promote their open positions or industry moves by raising awareness through a broad network of contacts.
If your organization has news about staff or is looking to hire, please send your announcement details to membership@ncpers.org for consideration.
