What's New at NASRA: Commentary on Short Term Market Volatility and Public Pension Plans

NASRA recently published (April 16, 2025) a commentary on short term investment market volatility and public pensions. Although headlines may focus on daily or weekly market fluctuations, short-term declines should be viewed in the context of public pension funds’ long-term, disciplined approach to investing. Public pension funds are managed with a long-term focus. These funds are overseen by professional investors who follow disciplined strategies rather than reacting to daily market fluctuations. Their portfolios are highly diversified to reduce risk, and most use tools such as asset smoothing to limit the impact of market swings and help maintain stable funding over time.
