NY State Pension Fund Grows to Nearly $310B
The estimated value of the New York State Common Retirement Fund was $309.7 billion at the end of the first quarter of State Fiscal Year 2026-27, New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli said Monday. Fund investments returned an estimated 6.12% for the quarter.
The Fund’s estimated value was $295.4 billion as of March 31, 2026, the end of Fiscal Year 2025-2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Fund had 39.4% of its assets invested in publicly traded equities. The remaining Fund assets by allocation are invested in cash, bonds, and mortgages (22.9%), private equity (14.3%), real estate and real assets (14.3%) and credit, absolute return strategies, and opportunistic alternatives (9.1%).
“The New York State Common Retirement Fund returned another strong quarter, despite a host of factors including persistent inflation, higher energy prices and ongoing geopolitical conflicts,” said DiNapoli. “Our disciplined investment strategy is focused on diversification, responsible risk management, and long-term stability so that we achieve the Fund’s purpose of protecting the retirement security of our public workers, retirees, and their families.”
