Scott Stringer’s push for transparency has come out a little foggy.

In a bid to show how Wall Street fees eat into city pension funds’ returns, the New York City comptroller on Tuesday reported that the $162.9 billion pension system paid out roughly $399 million in fees.

But fees paid to hedge funds and private equity firms weren’t included in the total — meaning the total fees paid by city pensions were likely much higher, insiders told The Post.

Last year, The Post exclusively reported that Stringer had paid $530.2 million in fees to investment firms, despite vowing to keep those costs down.

“We remain confident that our mix of assets is well-positioned to take advantage of market opportunities in the coming years,” Stringer said in a statement.
