Flint Area Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 370

Flint Area Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 370 operates a defined-benefit pension fund for union members of UA Local 370, representing plumbers and pipefitters in the Flint, Michigan region. The fund's leadership team includes Business Manager Harold Harrington, along with Business Agents Zach Desrochers and Dan Gaudet, who manage the union's operations and benefits programs. The fund's strategy centers on secondaries — purchasing existing stakes in private equity, venture capital, and real estate funds on the secondary market — as well as allocations to infrastructure, private credit, and real estate. Its portfolio likely targets income-producing assets that match the long-duration liabilities of a mature pension fund. The fund maintains two physical assets: a union hall at 5500 W. Pierson Rd in Flushing, Michigan, and a training center at 2151 W. Thompson Rd in Fenton, Michigan. Team size and total assets under management are not publicly disclosed. The fund has no known additional offices. It operates alongside affiliated entities including the Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 370 Pension Fund and Insurance Fund, both based in Lansing, as well as a scholarship fund for union families. The fund is part of the United Association, the international union for plumbers and pipefitters, and maintains ties to the Greater Flint AFL-CIO. What distinguishes this fund is its singular focus on secondaries as a primary strategy — unusual for a midsize union pension fund, which typically relies on a mix of public equities, fixed income, and alternatives. The secondaries tilt suggests an active approach to managing liquidity and optimizing legacy fund positions, rather than a traditional buy-and-hold allocation.
