Six charts on Florida SBA’s private equity programme

Florida State Board of Administration (SBA), one of the largest public pension systems in the United States with $219 billion in assets under management, maintains a substantial private equity portfolio comprising buyout investments, growth equity positions, and co-investment opportunities. According to Private Equity International, the pension's PE program is examined through six analytical charts that break down the performance metrics, geographic distribution, and sector composition of its holdings.

The analysis covers multiple dimensions of the Florida SBA's private equity allocation strategy. The featured charts examine buyout and growth equity performance trends, reveal geographic diversification patterns, and detail sector-level exposure across the portfolio. The co-investment component adds additional complexity and opportunity, allowing the pension to participate in secondary transactions and direct deal participation alongside larger fund commitments.

For institutional investors and alternative investment professionals, Florida SBA's approach serves as a reference point for public pension PE allocation frameworks. The $219 billion asset base and multi-strategy private equity deployment model reflect institutional best practices in diversification and risk management across vintage years and fund managers. The geographic and sectoral breakdown provides data-driven evidence of how large pension systems balance concentration risk while pursuing alpha generation through private markets exposure.
