Pension Intelligence is TPE Hub's dashboard for exploring public pension plan data, including funding ratios, investment returns, asset allocation, and membership trends for hundreds of U.S. state and local retirement systems. It's powered by the Public Plans Database, a research source for this type of pension data.

You can review a public pension plan's funding ratio, historical investment returns, how its assets are allocated across asset classes, and trends in membership over time, across hundreds of state and local retirement systems tracked in the Public Plans Database.

If you're a member of, or researching, a public pension system, understanding its funding position and investment performance gives useful context for how secure its promised benefits may be. Comparing a plan's funding ratio and returns over time can highlight whether it's improving, stable, or under increasing strain.

A pension plan's funding ratio moves with its investment returns, the contributions it receives, and the benefits it pays out relative to its liabilities. Asset allocation and membership trends, such as a growing number of retirees relative to active workers, also affect how much strain a plan's assets are under over time.
