Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Retirement Plan

Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Retirement Plan

The Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Retirement Plan (the Plan) is a corporate defined-benefit pension fund established by Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. The Plan is overseen by a board of trustees chaired by David P. Williams and an Audit, Finance, and Investment Committee chaired by Felicia Williams, with day-to-day portfolio management handled by Evan Meyer, the Plan's Portfolio Manager. Steve Davis serves as hospital President and CEO. The Plan's investment strategy centers on buyout commitments, as reflected in repeated classification as a buyout-focused allocator. It does not engage in direct co-investments, venture capital, or public equity trading as a core activity. The Plan's geographic focus is primarily North America, with a mandate to generate returns sufficient to meet pension obligations for hospital employees. The Plan operates with a lean investment team — Evan Meyer is the only named investment professional, supported by hospital finance leadership including CFO Paul Jenny. The Plan has no disclosed additional offices or philanthropic foundation separated from the hospital's own Cincinnati Children's Impact Investment Fund (CCIIF), which focuses on community investment rather than pension assets. No recent public operational events were available for the Plan itself. The Plan's structural distinctiveness lies in its simplicity: it is a straightforward, internally-managed defined-benefit fund that outsources execution to buyout general partners, rather than building an internal direct-investment apparatus. Its governance structure ties investment decisions to hospital committee members, blending enterprise finance and fiduciary oversight.
