USG Corporation Pension Fund
The USG Corporation Retirement Plan was established in 1950 to deliver guaranteed retirement income to eligible employees of USG Corporation. The plan is funded by the USG Corporation Retirement Plan Trust and sponsored by the building-products company now owned by Knauf. The plan maintains a diversified portfolio that includes equity index funds, bond funds, international equity, and alternative strategies. Confirmed holdings include limited partner positions in Canaan Resources, Long Wharf Capital, Astatine Investment Partners, and Macquarie Asset Management. Geographic exposure centers on the United States with additional infrastructure commitments on a global basis. Assets are custodied at The Northern Trust Company. CAPTRUST serves as investment advisor since 2024 and Evercore Trust Company has acted as investment manager since 2010. The plan also maintains a corporate foundation, USG Foundation Inc., established in 1978. Governance rests with the Pension Administration Committee chaired by Evgeni Ganchev, an Assistant Treasurer at USG Corporation. This structure separates plan administration from the sponsor's operating business while retaining direct oversight by internal treasury staff.
