Quarterly Summary of the Finances of Selected State and Local Government Employee Retirement Systems

For the 100 largest public-employee retirement systems in the country, total holdings and investments were down in the third quarter of 2011 following four consecutive quarterly increases. This decrease was driven largely by the drops in corporate stocks and international securities. Total holdings and investments quarter-to-quarter decreased $236.6 billion or 8.5 percent to $2.5 trillion. Total holdings and investments year-to-year rose $27.1 billion or 1.1 percent, continuing the trend of year-to-year increases for the eighth consecutive quarter. Earnings on investments were negative for the first time in over a year (since 2010:Q2) and totaled to losses of $198.6 billion for the third quarter of 2011.
