NCPERS Surveys

The National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems (NCPERS) is committed to supporting its members and survey participants by equipping them with the necessary tools and resources to excel in their work. We conduct two research studies every year to aid in benchmarking and performance evaluation: The Public Pension Compensation Survey compares compensation and benefits packages against their peers, while the Public Retirement Systems Study tracks fiscal, operational, and business practices.

Public Pension Compensation Survey

Recognizing the unique challenges that pension funds face with recruitment and retention, NCPERS developed the annual Public Pension Compensation Survey to help pension funds benchmark compensation and benefits packages against their peers and ensure key positions are filled with skilled and qualified staff. 

The results of each survey are presented in a detailed report and an interactive dashboard. The dashboard enables organizations to filter the data in several ways—such as region, number of fund staff, or assets under management—to help optimize the mix of funds to which they would like to compare themselves.

The 2024 Public Pension Compensation Survey captured 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. Learn more and order your copy today.
 

Annual Public Retirement Systems Study

For 14 years, NCPERS has been benchmarking public retirement systems and tracking trends in fiscal, operational, and business practices. NCPERS members and survey participants can access the survey, finding valuable data on fund expenses, asset allocation, funding levels, and more. You’ll also get access to an interactive dashboard, which you can filter the survey data by type of employee/beneficiary, total participants, and more.

By participating in the study, you're contributing to the public's understanding of public retirement systems. Not to mention, you'll be furthering open disclosure and increasing the range of data available for all to learn from.
