R.V. Kuhns & Associates, Inc. - Public Fund Universe Analysis

A comprehensive analysis of public pension funds is produced semi-annually for the periods ending June 30th and December 31st. All participating funds receive a complimentary copy of the report. The analysis provides an “apples to apples” comparison of asset allocation, performance, fees and actuarial comparative data from over 75% of U.S. public pension funds with combined assets of over $1.75 trillion.

This report can be customized to include any subset of the universe in order to provide the most appropriate peer comparison available.

Additionally, we produce a comprehensive survey of investment professionals' compensation at large public funds. This analysis compares average base salary and ranges, total potential compensation, years at fund/experience required as well as fund assets under management, internal vs. external management for each asset class, allocation of staff by asset class and title, professional certifications and turnover rate, and cost of living by geographic area. Complimentary reports are updated periodically and produced for all participating public pension funds, currently with 45 participants, and for those with assets greater than $20 billion, currently with 22 participants.

All furnished information is treated as confidential and not disclosed to other participants. If you would like to know more about our public fund services or would like to participate in our Public Fund Universe Analysis, please contact Jessica Fraser at
