Consolidated Electrical Distributors Employees' Retirement Plan
The Consolidated Electrical Distributors Employees' Retirement Plan was established in 1969 in Irving, Texas. It functions as a private-sector defined-benefit plan providing retirement, disability, and death benefits to non-union employees of the electrical distribution company. The plan allocates 29 percent of assets to private equity and maintains direct ownership of industrial and commercial properties across multiple states. Confirmed holdings include limited partnership interests in Tinicum Capital Partners, One Equity Partners, and Martis Capital Management. Additional positions exist in Angeles Investment Advisors and Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Geographic exposure centers on the United States with operating facilities in Texas, California, Iowa, and Washington. The plan reports $1.114 billion in assets. It holds seven named real estate assets including the CED Headquarters in Irving and the Rancho Dominguez Industrial Property in California. Keith W. Colburn serves as CEO of the parent distributor while Richard W. Colburn sits on the board. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in the record. The plan operates through a single sponsor relationship with Consolidated Electrical Distributors, Inc. and routes commitments via external advisors rather than an internal investment staff.
