Alexandria (Va.) Supplemental Retirement Plan
The Alexandria Supplemental Retirement Plan provides defined-benefit pensions for eligible general employees of the City of Alexandria, Virginia. The plan sits under the oversight of a dedicated Pension Board, which Jim Moore chairs, with day-to-day administration managed by Retirement Administrator Kadira Coley and the city's Pension Administration Division. It functions as a single-employer public plan, distinct from the larger Virginia Retirement System, and its investment decisions reflect local governance rather than state-level pooling. The plan runs a markedly concentrated strategy centered on secondary private-market transactions. A separate real assets sleeve provides additional diversification, anchored in domestic United States properties. The geographic footprint remains distinctly domestic, consistent with the plan's mandate as a municipal fiduciary. The fund's scale keeps it below the threshold that typically attracts prime broker or major consultant coverage, yet its secondaries-heavy orientation places it within a cohort of small public plans that punch above their weight in niche private-market strategies. The plan's structural differentiator is its independence from the Virginia Retirement System. While most Virginia municipal workers fall under the state umbrella, Alexandria maintains separate pension governance for its supplemental workforce tier. This grants the local board autonomy over asset allocation but also concentrates fiduciary responsibility in a small group of city officials, making succession planning and board composition the critical governance variable for prospective co-investors and counterparties.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Alexandria Supplemental Retirement Plan part of the Virginia Retirement System?
No. It is a standalone single-employer plan for City of Alexandria employees, operating under independent governance from the Virginia Retirement System. This separation gives the local Pension Board direct control over asset allocation and manager selection for this specific workforce segment.
Why does the plan allocate so heavily to secondaries?
Secondaries offer smaller public plans like Alexandria's a way to access private equity exposure while reducing blind-pool risk and accelerating distributions. By purchasing existing LP stakes, the plan can acquire seasoned assets at potential discounts and with shorter duration than traditional primary commitments. For a leanly staffed municipal fund, this approach also simplifies due diligence compared to evaluating dozens of new primary funds.
Who are the key named fiduciaries and administrators?
Public record identifies three individuals: Jim Moore serves as Chair of the Supplemental Retirement Plan Pension Board; Kadira Coley is the Retirement Administrator for the City of Alexandria; and Arthur Lynch works as a Retirement Specialist within the Pension Administration Division. These are administrative and governance roles; the plan does not publicly list dedicated chief investment officers or in-house portfolio managers.
