Declining Funding Ratios of City and County Pension Systems: Impact on Private Equity Fund Financing

By Todd Cubbage, Chris Kang and Ellen McGinnis, Haynes and Boone LLP

Funding ratios for city- and county-sponsored pension funds have suffered a 15.7% decrease from FYE 2021 measurements as a result of global market fluctuations, dropping to an estimated average of 73.3% as of June 30, 2022. Funding ratios are an important metric for determining the creditworthiness of governmental pension plans when they invest in private equity funds that obtain subscription-secured credit facilities, so it is important for lenders and funds to have protocols in place to monitor the impact of market conditions on these underlying metrics.
