New Mexico

New Mexico has two main public pension funds:

  • The PERA board represents all eligible public employees; the board consists of 12 members: 2 Ex Officio (Secretary of State, State Treasurer); 4 elected by state members; 4 elected by municipal members; 2 elected by PERA retirees.
  • The NMERB represents public school teachers and employees and consists of 9 members: the State Treasurer, 2 members appointed by the Governor, 2 members appointed by the National Education Association of New Mexico, 1 member appointed by the Public Education Department, 1 member appointed by the Department of Higher Education, 1 member appointed by the American Association of University Professors, and 1 member appointed by the American Federation of Teachers.
    • The NMERB discloses its specific proxy voting records through this website.

The first table shows the aggregated proxy voting records of the state’s asset managers, who manage the pension’s stock market portfolio either through mutual funds or ETFs, and are therefore exercising proxy voting privileges as well. The second table shows the state’s publicly disclosed proxy voting records for public securities that it directly owns through pension fund portfolios. Both of these tables are necessary to reflect an accurate and comprehensive picture of the state’s proxy voting records.
