Lake Superior State University Pension Plan

Lake Superior State University Pension Plan

Lake Superior State University Pension Plan was established to provide retirement benefits for university staff. Dr. David Travis leads the institution as president while Morrie Walworth manages finance and operations as treasurer to the eight-member Board of Trustees appointed by the Governor of Michigan. The plan allocates across public equities, fixed income, and real assets. Confirmed holdings include SPDR Gold Trust positions. Geographic focus remains domestic with primary operations in Michigan and limited exposure through the Nebraska Educational Savings Plan Trust network. The plan reports an estimated $118 million in assets. It maintains ties to the Lake Superior State University Foundation and participates in the Quinnipiac G.A.M.E. Forum through the university investment club. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Governance flows through the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System for pre-1996 hires, creating a hybrid structure that blends state oversight with university-level administration.
