Missouri State Employees' Retirement System

Missouri State Employees' Retirement System

The Missouri State Employees' Retirement System was established September 1, 1957, under state statutes to deliver retirement, disability and survivor benefits. It functions as a statewide public pension fund with no single family wealth origin. Governance rests with a Board of Trustees that includes the Missouri State Treasurer as an ex-officio member. MOSERS targets a 15 percent allocation to private equity and maintains exposure to real estate, private credit, commodities and alternative beta strategies. Confirmed holdings include positions in Harrison Street Real Estate Core Property Fund, Partners Group Direct Equity IV, Altas Partners Holdings III, Vista Equity Partners VIII and Brevan Howard Alpha Strategies Fund. The portfolio spans North America, Asia and global markets through limited partnership commitments and separate accounts. Geographic reach includes United States timberland and energy assets alongside international private equity funds. The organization employs 114 professionals at its Jefferson City headquarters. It retains BNY Mellon as master custodian, Verus Advisory as investment consultant and Eide Bailly as external auditor. In January 2024 the fund participated as a speaker at the MFA Network Miami conference covering alternative investments and private credit. MOSERS participates in professional networks including the National Association of State Retirement Administrators and the Missouri Association of Public Employee Retirement Systems. These memberships support peer coordination on fiduciary standards and plan design without altering its statutory mandate as a single public plan.
