Austin Firefighters Retirement Fund
The Austin Firefighters Retirement Fund was established in 1937 to serve Austin firefighters and their beneficiaries. Anumeha Kumar holds the Executive Director role. The City of Austin acts as plan sponsor while the Austin Firefighters Association participates in governance. The fund maintains a 15 percent target allocation to private equity with current exposure at 15.2 percent. Real estate holdings include Crow Holdings Realty Partners X, Portfolio Advisors Real Estate Fund V, and Partners Group Real Estate Secondary 2017. Natural resources exposure stands at 2.5 to 3 percent of assets. Commitments span the United States and global markets through secondaries, buyouts, and value-add strategies. Assets total 1197 million USD. The fund lists 14 service providers including Meketa Investment Group as general investment consultant since 2014 and Cheiron as actuary. Additional offices are not disclosed. In August 2024 the fund attended the TEXPERS Summer Educational Forum in San Antonio. Governance ties the fund directly to the City of Austin as plan sponsor and to the Austin Firefighters Association for member representation. This structure channels contributions and oversight through municipal and labor channels rather than a private wealth source.
