Northrop Grumman Pension Plan
The Northrop Grumman Pension Plan was established in 2000 as the defined benefit vehicle for employees of Northrop Grumman Corporation. It operates separately from the sponsor's 401(k) savings plans while sharing the same corporate parent. Allocations include private equity commitments through NG DB MT Alternative Investments Fund to vehicles such as Edgewater Growth Capital Partners IV, Blackstone Core Equity Partners, and KKR Americas Fund XII. Real estate exposure appears via EW Real Estate Fund LP in Singapore and India. Energy and metals futures provide hedging across global markets. The plan also holds direct real assets including the Colorado Springs Campus and Space Park facilities. Assets total 19616 million USD. The plan uses State Street Bank and Trust Company as trustee and custodian and Deloitte & Touche LLP as auditor. Kathy Warden serves as Chair and CEO of the sponsor corporation. The plan's structure ties investment decisions to the sponsor's corporate treasury function rather than an independent family office or external CIO mandate.
