State Pension Fund Returns Ranked for 3-years Ending 6/30/13

As a follow up to my previous two posts on September 22 and October 12, I've ranked our US states by pension fund investment returns.  I found 3-year investment returns for 39 of 50 state pension funds and ranked them as of June 30, 2013.  

The Wilshire TUCS median return for public pensions for three years is 11.5%.  

As is typical, my home state of North Carolina can be found 4th from last in the table.
