Established in 2005, the Vermont Pension Investment Committee is responsible for managing the assets of the Vermont State Employees' Retirement System, the Vermont State Teachers' Retirement System, and the Vermont Municipal Employees' Retirement System. As of June 30, 2019, VPIC had $4.5 billion of assets under management.

As a long term investor, VPIC considers that ESG issues affect the financial performance of the companies they own. As such, they have adopted an ESG policy and have implemented programs to survey the ESG capabilities of new and existing Managers. Furthermore, as an active owner, VPIC chose to remain invested in fossil fuel companies in order to actively engage with portfolio companies individually, and collaboratively through Climate Action 100+.
