New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli today announced that the estimated value of the New York State Common Retirement Fund (Fund) was $274.6 billion at the end of the second quarter of state fiscal year 2024-25. For the three-month period ending Sept. 30, 2024, Fund investments returned an estimated 4.15%.

“While investors continue to face uncertainty, steady economic growth has continued this year, bolstering markets in the second quarter,” DiNapoli said. “Our diverse portfolio is built on long-term sustainable investments that can weather the market’s ups and downs, and is one of the reasons we remain one of the nation’s strongest public pension funds.”

The Fund's estimated value was $267.7 billion as of March 31, 2024, the end of the state’s fiscal year.

As of Sept. 30, the Fund had 42.01% of its assets invested in publicly traded equities. The remaining Fund assets by allocation are invested in cash, bonds, and mortgages (22.22%), private equity (14.45%), real estate and real assets (13.32%) and credit, absolute return strategies, and opportunistic alternatives (8%).

The Fund’s long-term expected rate of return is 5.9%.

DiNapoli initiated quarterly performance reporting by the Fund in 2009 as part of his on-going efforts to increase accountability and transparency.
