St. Petersburg Firemen’s Pension Fund
The St. Petersburg Firemen’s Pension Fund is a defined-benefit public pension fund sponsored by the City of St. Petersburg, Florida. It was established under Florida state statutes for municipal firefighter retirement, funded by employee contributions and city appropriations. The board of trustees includes Chair Brett Ciskoski, alongside trustees Bradley Williams, David Wirth, Amy Powell, and Daniel 'Evan' Mory. Investment strategy emphasizes capital preservation through a diversified mix. Asset classes include a real estate investment trust (REIT) portfolio focused on mixed-use properties and a hedge fund-of-funds portfolio for alternative risk-adjusted returns. The fund does not publicly disclose specific allocations or portfolio companies. Geographic exposure centers on the US, with Florida real estate as a likely anchor. The board of trustees oversees all investment decisions, with no external CIO or investment staff disclosed. Team size stands at six named trustees, all serving in part-time fiduciary roles. Recent activity is not publicly available; the fund operates with limited public reporting typical of small municipal plans. The fund benefits from a clear governance structure: as a municipal pension, it is bound by Florida's public records and sunshine laws for trustee meetings and investment reporting — providing transparency unusual among similarly sized private pension plans. This statutory framework shapes its decision-making cadence and investment horizon.
