List of largest pension schemes in the United States

This list of largest pension funds in the United States involves two main groups: government pension funds for public employees and collectively bargained pension funds, jointly managed between employer and employee representatives after the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947. In practice, Taft-Hartley plans have many units of local pension funds, under an umbrella group.[citation needed]
