Printing Industry Pension Fund for SATU members
The Printing Industry Pension Fund for SATU members was formed in 1990 to serve union members in the printing industry. Its founding ties directly to the South African Typographical Union, which remains the core participant group. The fund deploys capital into listed equities and real estate investment trusts. Confirmed holdings include positions in Naspers Ltd, Bidvest Ltd, Novus Ltd and Caxton CTP Ltd on the JSE, plus minority stakes in Alexandria Real Estate Equities, American Tower Corporation, Annaly Capital Management, AvalonBay Communities, Boston Properties and Camden Property Trust in the United States. Geographic exposure spans South Africa and North America. The fund also maintains a relationship with the SATU National Provident Fund. Assets are administered by Transparent Financial Services since 2014. Actuarial services are provided by Moruba Consultants and Actuaries. Investment management is split among Morgan Stanley, Coronation Fund Managers, Investec Asset Management, Visio Capital and Sesfikile Capital. The fund belongs to the Institute of Retirement Funds Africa and received Best Practice Industry Awards in prior years. Governance centers on an independent Principal Officer rather than direct family control. This structure separates investment decisions from the founding union while retaining the original mandate to serve printing industry participants.
