Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency Retirement Board
The Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency Retirement Board was established in 1974 to administer retirement benefits for employees of the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency. Joseph M. Petty serves as Executive Secretary and Board Director while Michael Fitzmaurice chairs the board. Oversight rests with the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission. The board allocates across public equities, investment-grade and high-yield bonds, TIPS, real estate value-add funds and private equity commitments. Confirmed holdings include positions in TA Realty Associates Fund IX, X and XII plus multiple HarbourVest and Constitution Capital vehicles. Geographic exposure centers on the United States with additional commitments to global private equity and infrastructure strategies. Total assets stand at $280 million. The board maintains membership in the Massachusetts Association of Contributory Retirement Systems and attends NCPERS conferences. Service providers include Meketa Investment Group as investment advisor, CliftonLarsonAllen as auditor and Stone Consulting as actuary. The board functions as a single-employer public pension plan tied directly to MassHousing rather than a statewide system, which shapes its governance and investment committee structure.
