The firm believes that empowering trustees with the right tools and knowledge is essential in raising the bar for education and governance in the public pension sector. As of December 31, 2024, Meketa’s collective client assets under advisement amount to approximately $2.3 trillion, which underscores their influential position within the investment community and highlights the trust that institutional investors place in their guidance. The National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems, which represents the largest trade association for public pensions, continues to play an essential role by advocating for and providing significant education and resources to support public sector retirement systems across the United States.
