Pensions & Investments was founded in 1973 by Crain Communications, a family-owned media company. The idea for the publication came from G.D. Crain Jr., who recognized the need for a dedicated news source focusing on the growing pension and investment industry. The publication was designed to provide comprehensive coverage of institutional investing, serving as a valuable resource for pension fund executives, money managers, and other financial professionals. Today, Pensions & Investments remains a part of Crain Communications, which is still owned and operated by the Crain family. Based in New York City, Pensions & Investments covers a wide range of topics related to institutional investing and financial markets. This includes news and analysis on pension funds, endowments, foundations, mutual funds, and other institutional investors. The publication reports on investment strategies, market trends, regulatory changes, and key personnel moves within the industry. While primarily focused on the United States market, Pensions & Investments also provides coverage of global investment trends and international markets that impact institutional investors. One interesting fact: Pensions & Investments is known for its annual surveys and rankings, which have become industry benchmarks. One of its most notable features is the “P&I 1000,“ an annual ranking of the largest U.S. retirement plans. This comprehensive survey, which has been conducted for over 40 years, provides valuable insights into the state of the pension industry and is widely referenced by professionals and policymakers in the field of institutional investing.
