Haynes and Boone, LLP Partners Retirement Plan

A fiduciary committee composed of senior equity partners governs the plan. The committee typically retains an investment consultant or OCIO to handle manager selection, asset allocation, and day-to-day portfolio management. The plan's named fiduciaries and service providers are disclosed annually in its Form 5500 filing.

The plan invests through commingled institutional funds for its private equity and real asset allocations. Direct co-investments alongside fund managers are possible but not typical for single-employer professional-service plans of this scale, given the monitoring demands. Most exposure comes through limited partnership interests in buyout, venture, and real estate funds.

The plan covers only equity partners — a small, highly compensated cohort with concentrated retirement accumulation needs — rather than a broad workforce. This concentrates liability risk on a narrow participant base and allows a more aggressive, less liquid investment posture than a traditional multi-employer or broad-based corporate plan would support.

Dallas-based plans often exhibit a home-state bias toward Texas real estate, energy, and private equity managers. The plan may overweight regional fund commitments, direct property investments, and in-state fixed-income issuers. However, as a national law firm with offices in New York and California, the plan also accesses coastal manager networks.

Yes. As an ERISA-governed plan, it files an annual Form 5500 with the Department of Labor, disclosing total assets, contributions, benefit payments, and service-provider compensation. These filings are publicly searchable through the DOL's EFAST database, typically with a 18–24 month lag.
