The Missouri Local Government Employees Retirement System (LAGERS) was established in 1967 by the Missouri General Assembly. It is a non-profit, defined benefit public pension system for local government employees throughout the state. LAGERS' mission is to provide secure and stable retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to its members and their families. The system is funded through a combination of employer and employee contributions, and the investment returns generated from its professionally managed portfolio. As a multiple-employer public pension system, it serves a diverse group of political subdivisions, including cities, counties, and special districts.
