With over $60 billion in assets, LAPP benefits from economies of scale that provide access to infrastructure investments not available to smaller funds, allowing for a much more diversified portfolio to mitigate risk for our members and employers. With 291,259 members, 437 employers, and one of the strongest cost-to-benefit ratios in the country, LAPP’s professionally managed Plan provides extensive services and great member benefits, as well as affordable contribution rates (reduced for the fourth time in six years) and ease of administration for you.

Our Advocacy page reveals studies confirming how LAPP's Defined Benefit (DB) plan directly benefits employers:

• Contributes strongly to recruitment, retention, and workplace morale;
• Reduces turnover, new hiring and training costs, and loss of institutional knowledge;
• Removes oversight and lowers governance and administration costs; and
• Provides you with continually updated support and education on an ongoing basis.

You'll also find reports on the many ways in which LAPP membership benefits employees:

• Your employee contributes 1% less than you, and you both contribute greatly to local communities;
• Your employee's pension will be secure, stable, predictable, and guaranteed for life;
• Your employee's retirement income grows each year to protect against inflation; and
• Their financial stress decreases and satisfaction with life increases.
