State Pension Fund Summary
Nevada has one main public pension system: the Nevada Public Employees’ Retirement System (NVPERS).
- The NVPERS board represents nearly all state and local public employees; the board consists of 7 members, all appointed by the Governor.
- According to its 2024 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, NVPERS’ general investment consultants are Callan and Jobs Peak Advisors.
- According to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, NVPERS uses ISS for its proxy advisory services.
The “By Asset Manager” and “Asset Manager Voting” tables show the proxy voting records of the state’s asset managers who manage the pensions’ stock market portfolio through index, exchange-traded, or mutual funds. Since these are externally managed funds, the asset managers typically retain and exercise proxy voting privileges. This data is used to calculate the state’s pro-ESG and anti-ESG scores to see how the state leverages its externally managed funds in proxy voting.
The “State Voting” table shows NVPERS proxy voting records for directly owned securities through pension fund portfolios. This data was obtained by a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request since Nevada does not publicly disclose this information to its pensioners. The 1792 Exchange encourages Nevada to publish its proxy voting records instead of keeping its pensioners in the dark about how the state votes on ESG issues with their money.
Both tables are important to show a comprehensive picture of the state’s proxy voting record.
