The South Carolina Judges and Solicitors Retirement System (JSRS) is a South Carolina state pension fund that provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to the state's judges, solicitors, and circuit public defenders. JSRS had $221,630,000 ($221.6 million) in total assets under management as of July 1, 2023.

The management of public pension funds can indicate support or opposition to environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) investment practices. ESG investing considers the extent to which corporations align with and promote certain non-financial standards, such as net carbon emission or corporate board diversity goals. States typically hire asset management companies (AMCs) to direct pension plan investments, some of which have ESG commitments that guide their strategies.

Assets and asset management

Asset management companies (AMCs) are hired to manage asset investment for state pension funds across all 50 states.

As of October 2024, 330 AMCs were members of the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative (NZAM), and 391 AMCs were investor participants in the Climate Action 100+ initiative. Both international asset manager initiatives aimed to align the investment decisions of signatories with the goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

NZAM announced on January 13, 2025, that it was suspending operations and removing the commitment statement and list of signatories from its website. The group said in a statement it would reevaluate its plans and operations in light of “[r]ecent developments in the U.S. and different regulatory and client expectations in investors’ respective jurisdictions.”

List of AMCs contracting with the Public Employee Benefit Authority

The South Carolina Judges and Solicitors Retirement System (JSRS) is a sub-fund under the management of the South Carolina Public Employee Benefit Authority (PEBA). PEBA administers JSRS, among other retirement and benefit plans for the public employees of South Carolina. JSRS does not contract with its own AMCs; the AMCs for PEBA account for all the pension plans it administers.

PEBA contracted with 227 asset management companies (AMCs) or specific funds as of June 30, 2024. Of those companies, eighteen were investor participants in Climate Action 100+, and forty-five were members of NZAM, as of October 2024.
