RTÉ
RTÉ Pension Fund manages assets for staff of the Irish public service broadcaster founded in 1926. The fund operates the RTÉ Superannuation Scheme and the 50/50 Risk-Sharing Pension Scheme. Assets total approximately $1.2 billion and sit under the oversight of the RTÉ Board chaired by Terence O'Rourke. The fund invests in public equities, bonds, private equity and hedge funds. Private equity represents 10.05 percent of assets. Geographic exposure centers on Ireland and global developed markets. The RTÉ Superannuation Scheme holds the bulk of the capital while the smaller hybrid scheme covers newer employees. Director General Kevin Bakhurst leads RTÉ operations. The fund uses BNY Mellon as global custodian, Mercer as actuarial advisor and KPMG as external auditor. No additional offices are recorded. RTÉ remains a statutory corporation owned by the Irish State. Governance flows through the RTÉ Board and the two pension schemes operate under a single Statement of Investment Policy Principles.
