Public Pension Compensation Survey
This year, NCPERS and CBIZ partnered to execute the 2024 Public Pension Compensation Survey, capturing in-depth compensation data on 88 common positions at public pension funds. The survey also examined data on benefits, fund oversight, salary increase planning, and bonuses, providing a robust dataset intended to help funds benchmark their compensation and benefits packages against peers.
The survey results are now available in a detailed report, Public Pension Insights 2024: A Comprehensive Survey on Compensation Trends, accompanied by an interactive dashboard. This dashboard allows organizations to filter the data by various criteria—such as region, number of fund staff, or assets under management—enabling them to optimize the mix of funds to which they would like to compare themselves.
