About Us

We believe in a secure retirement for all.

LAGERS is the largest public pension system in Missouri serving local government employees. We believe a dignified retirement is for everyone and strive toward a secure retirement for all every day. LAGERS membership is made up of thousands of firefighters, police officers, utility workers, EMTs, public works personnel, and librarians, to name a few.

For over 50 years, Missouri LAGERS has helped middle-class workers transition into middle-class retirees. Dependable monthly income is essential for people to exit the workforce with dignity and helps them maintain their standard of living throughout retirement.

LAGERS exists solely for the benefit of our members and the people who are dependent upon them. We take our responsibility seriously and strive to ensure the people who keep our communities going can depend on us. The security, flexibility, and portability of our benefits make LAGERS the preferred retirement plan for Missouri’s local governments.

We strive for superior quality and accuracy at all times to ensure first-rate service and efficiency.

We communicate with our co-workers, stakeholders and the public with clarity, openness and sincerity to build credibility and strengthen trust.

We accept ownership and responsibility for our actions and their results to ensure fulfillment of LAGERS’ mission.
