Hollow Metal Trust Fund

Investment and administrative decisions fall to the Board of Trustees, which includes Joseph Geiger, Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the parent New York City District Council of Carpenters, and Denise A. Ortiz, who serves as both Executive Director and Trustee. Neil Sandy holds the role of Interim Executive Director. As a Taft-Hartley plan, trustees share fiduciary responsibility jointly, and the fund has no publicly named internal investment staff or external consultant.

The fund covers members of the New York City District Council of Carpenters, specifically including Local 2947 and Local 3127. These locals represent carpenters specializing in hollow-metal door and frame installation, a distinct trade within commercial interior construction. The fund's name reflects that occupational niche.

Both. The fund directly owns a commercial property at 214-38 Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, Queens, per public records. It also commits capital as a limited partner to institutional real estate managers — one known commitment is to American Realty Advisors, a Los Angeles-based firm with core and value-add strategies. The mix of direct ownership and fund commitments is consistent with the plan's real-asset orientation.

The Hollow Metal Trust Fund is a subordinate organization operating under the New York City District Council of Carpenters Welfare Fund. The parent Welfare Fund provides health and other benefits, while the Hollow Metal Trust Fund specifically handles pension obligations for the hollow-metal carpenter trade. The Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the NYCDCC, Joseph Geiger, serves as a Trustee of the pension trust.

No. The fund does not publish AUM, annual reports, or investment performance publicly. As a private-sector Taft-Hartley pension plan, it files Form 5500 annually with the Department of Labor, which contains some financial data, but the fund itself maintains no public-facing disclosure website or investor-relations presence.
