Iron Workers District Council of Western New York & Vicinity Pension Fund

Iron Workers District Council of Western New York & Vicinity Pension Fund

The Iron Workers District Council of Western New York & Vicinity Pension Fund was established to provide retirement benefits to iron workers in the region. It operates as a union defined benefit plan whose beneficiaries belong to Locals 6, 9, 12, 33, 60, and 440. The fund allocates across real estate investment trusts, common and collective trusts, pooled separate accounts, corporate debt securities, and government debt securities. It maintains co-investment relationships with the Iron Workers District Council of Western New York & Vicinity Annuity Fund and the Iron Workers District Council of Western New York & Vicinity Welfare Fund, both of which share the same administrative office. The plan participates in the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers as its parent industry association. No public information exists on total professionals, additional offices, or investment staff changes in the last 24 months. Governance ties the fund directly to the contributing locals and the employer association, creating a closed contribution and benefit structure typical of multiemployer Taft-Hartley plans.
