Background

Who Nevada Public Employees Retirement System is.

Where the institution came from, whose capital it manages, and how that capital is allocated — from Dealroom's LP research.

Historical Background

  • The Nevada Public Employees' Retirement System (NVPERS) was established in 1947 by the Nevada Legislature through the Public Employees' Retirement Act.
  • The system was created as an independent public agency to provide a stable retirement income for public employees.

Source of Capital

  • The system is funded through contributions from both public employees, via paycheck withholdings, and their employers.
  • These contributions are invested to finance retirement, disability, and survivor benefits for members.

Major Events

  • In November 2023, the retirement system's board approved an increase in contribution rates for all members, which became effective in July 2024.
  • The system was involved in a Nevada Supreme Court case concerning the public disclosure of its employees' and retirees' names and benefit information.

Allocation Strategy

  • The investment strategy is centered on a diversified portfolio with a significant allocation to publicly traded equities.
  • As of the end of 2020, the asset allocation was approximately 44.8% in U.S. stocks, 20.1% in international stocks, 23.8% in bonds, 6.3% in private equity, and 4.5% in private real estate.
  • The primary investment objective is to achieve a long-term return of 7.5%, which is 4.75% above the rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
