Greater Pennsylvania Carpenters' Medical Plan
The plan was established in 1964 to furnish medical coverage for carpenters, spouses, and dependents in greater Pennsylvania. William C. Sproule serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees, with David D. Daquelente as Co-Chairman and James R. Klein as Fund Administrator. Independence Blue Cross Blue Shield acts as the primary insurance carrier. Assets are deployed across real estate, public equities, and fixed income. Confirmed positions include the American Realty Advisors Core Property Fund valued at approximately $23.5 million and the Intercontinental US Real Estate Investment Fund at $17.7 million. Additional exposure appears in the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF, PGIM Total Return Bond Fund, and several JPMorgan commingled trusts covering international and emerging-markets equities. The geographic footprint centers on the United States with allocations to domestic commercial properties and global equity markets. The plan reports $397 million in assets. It maintains relationships with PNC Advisors for investment management and Segal Consulting for actuarial services. No additional offices are disclosed. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The plan's structure links investment decisions to a single trade union's membership base, creating a direct mandate to generate returns that also support union employment through targeted real-estate and contractor policies.
