Frequently asked questions
How is the Merck Master Retirement Trust related to the pharmaceutical company?
The trust is a separate legal entity established by Merck & Co., Inc. to fund and administer defined-benefit pension obligations for its employees. While Merck sponsors the plan and holds fiduciary responsibility for its oversight, the trust's assets are held independently of the corporation's operating treasury and are managed for the exclusive benefit of plan participants.
Does the trust invest directly in real estate or only through REITs?
Public records show a mix of both. The trust holds a direct commercial real estate investment in Long Branch, New Jersey, via 71 Broadway Long Branch LLC, and also maintains a broader, globally diversified REIT portfolio that spans mixed-use properties.
