Equity-League Pension Trust Fund
The Equity-League Pension Trust Fund was founded in 1960 to serve actors and stage managers represented by Actors' Equity Association. The Broadway League appoints half the trustees alongside the union. Vincent Cinelli and Arthur J. Manion hold executive director roles. Allocations include commitments to Great Hill Equity Partners VI, Marlin Equity Partners V, Blackstone Core Equity Partners, and Spectrum Equity Investors VIII. Real estate exposure runs through WCP Real Estate Fund IV and a JPMorgan commingled real estate securities vehicle. A commitment to Kennedy Lewis Investment Management adds private credit. Geographic reach centers on the United States with one position in Europe via MCP Private Capital Fund III. The fund maintains an ESG policy focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Jeff Applegate co-chairs the investment committee. The plan participates in the National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans and the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans. Service providers include BNY Mellon for custody, Proskauer Rose for legal counsel, and Cambridge Associates for investment advice. Governance splits trustee appointments evenly between Actors' Equity Association and The Broadway League. This structure ties investment oversight directly to the theater industry labor and employer groups that sponsor the plan.
