We recently published a new version of Cheiron's Public Plan Tool on our web site. The tool uses data compiled on more than 200 large public pension plans by www.publicplansdata.org to compare the plans on various metrics. To use it, you would select a card from the main menu to access a submenu of metrics.

Once you select a metric, a visualization opens showing the metric as a small gray dot for every plan in the database and a dark blue dot for the median. You can view the distribution for individual years or click on the play arrow to watch the distribution change over time. You can also highlight any plan in the data using the search box in the upper left corner.

Clicking on one of the dots opens a panel comparing the selected plan to all other plans from 2001 through the most recently available data.

We hope you will explore Cheiron's Public Plan Tool and find it useful. If you have any comments or suggestions for the tool, please forward them to your Cheiron consultant.
