CBERA Plan C
CBERA Plan C was formed in 1976 under the Cooperative Banks Employees Retirement Association. The association operates as a voluntary group of cooperative banks chartered under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 170. Chantal Bray serves as CEO. The plan allocates to public equities, private equity at 8.21 percent, and fixed income through external managers. Mondrian Investment Partners serves as an investment manager. Geographic exposure centers on the United States with limited international holdings via fund vehicles. Participating employers include Mechanics Cooperative Bank, Haverhill Bank, and StonehamBank. Assets reached $293 million in the most recent audit. The plan maintains relationships with T. Rowe Price for recordkeeping and Callan Associates for consulting. Needham Bank withdrew participation in 2024. CEO Chantal Bray has spoken at the Conference of Consulting Actuaries Annual Meeting on pension governance topics. The plan operates under a multiple-employer structure governed by a board drawn from member bank executives. This architecture ties investment oversight directly to the participating institutions rather than a single sponsor.
