Adams County Retirement Plan

Adams County Retirement Plan

The Adams County Retirement Plan was established in 1970 to deliver retirement, death, and disability benefits. Debbie Haines serves as Executive Director and Pernell Olson chairs the Retirement Board. The plan covers employees of Adams County and the Rangeview Library District. The plan allocates across private equity, real estate, public equities, and fixed income. Confirmed private equity commitments include Crestview Partners IV, Veritas Capital Fund VIII, Portfolio Advisors Secondary Fund V, and multiple Mesirow and Adams Street funds. Real estate holdings include Harbert United States Real Estate Funds V through VII and Principal real estate debt and property accounts. Public equity targets include Vanguard Institutional Index Fund at 17.5 percent and American Funds New Perspective Fund at 10 percent. Allocations span North America and global markets. The plan reports 395 million dollars under management. It retains CAPTRUST as investment advisor, Gabriel Roeder Smith & Company as actuary, CliftonLarsonAllen as auditor, State Street as custodian, and Davis Graham & Stubbs as legal counsel. Board members attend NCPERS and IFEBP conferences for education, including the 2024 NCPERS Annual Conference in Seattle and the 2024 IFEBP Annual Employee Benefits Conference in San Diego. The plan operates under a multi-employer structure sponsored by Adams County with Rangeview Library District as participating employer. Governance separates plan administration from the county operating budget while sharing fiduciary oversight through the Retirement Board.
