NCPERS 2025 FALL Conference

The Imperial Fund Asset Management team attended the NCPERS 2025 Fall Conference in Hollywood, Florida. The whole team enjoyed four days of attending seminars, hosting company-sponsored booth, and meeting with representatives from pension funds across the country. We continue to enjoy learning about the unique range of responsibilities that pension funds oversee.
Here were three key takeaways from the conference:

Continued Interest in Private Credit - At a panel discussion titled 'Credit, Equity & Global Markets', there was a discussion of private credit and potential macro drivers of credit performance in 2026. There was general agreement that a comprehensive forecast of private credit performance is difficult because of the size and range of products in the space. Panelists say this size also inhibits reliable benchmarking in the space.

Planning - Another on-stage event discussed the impacts of large salary increases on public retirement system funding. The speakers conveyed, through data insights, how a given salary increase can have very different impacts on funds that are structured differently. The planning necessary to responsibly prepare for such changes was evident.

Corporate Governance - At the final panel of the conference, two senior attorneys walked through recent examples of fraudulent corporate activity. The attorneys used these examples to highlight the procedural considerations for pursuing corporate governance litigation. The talk was a detailed analysis of the pitfalls of poor corporate governance and the options investors have when pursuing litigation.

It was a pleasure attending the conference, and we look forward to attending future events.
