# Public Pension Commitments Dataset

DFX currently tracks 2,739 dated or approved commitments by public pension plans in the Public Pension Commitments Dataset, as of 14 August 2026.

Canonical page: https://dfxintel.com/datasets/pension-commitments

Commitments by US public pension plans to private equity, credit, real estate, infrastructure and venture funds, each read from the plan's board or investment committee minutes.

## Figures

- Public pension commitments: 2,739 (as of 14 August 2026)

## Summary: commitments by asset class

| Asset class | Commitments |
| - | - |
| private equity | 741 |
| private credit | 158 |
| real estate | 305 |
| infrastructure | 369 |
| venture capital | 82 |
| real assets | 46 |

Only the asset classes DFX publishes a page for; commitments with no asset class yet are in the total but in no row.

## Sample: the five latest commitments

| Plan | Fund or account | Amount | Date |
| - | - | - | - |
| Virginia Retirement System (VRS) | ValueAct Strategic Global Fund II | $200M | 2026-08-14 |
| Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Association | Whitman Peterson Fund V | $75M | 2026-08-12 |
| Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Association | Cheyne Capital Management separate account | $750M | 2026-08-12 |
| South Carolina Retirement System (SCRS) | Industry Ventures Secondary XI | $150M | 2026-07-28 |
| South Carolina Retirement System (SCRS) | Abacus Multi-Family Partners VII | $150M | 2026-07-23 |

Rows the public pension commitment pages show to every reader, each read from the plan's board or investment committee minutes.

## Limitations

- A commitment amount is always the plan's own commitment, never a fund size.
- Only plans whose minutes can be read are covered; plans whose websites refuse automated readers are not.
- About a third of commitments carry no asset class bucket yet, so the bucket counts below do not add up to the total.
