Weyerhaeuser Company Master Retirement Fund
The Weyerhaeuser Company Master Retirement Fund was established to provide retirement benefits tied to the operations of Weyerhaeuser Company, founded in 1900. Jack Coates previously shaped its alternative investment approach before current managers took over. The fund deploys capital into private equity, hedge funds, and real estate through a mix of fund commitments and co-investments. Confirmed holdings include Appaloosa Management, Greenlight Capital, Taconic Capital, Hayman Capital Management, and HG Vora Capital Management. Allocations span North America and global markets, with additional exposure to early-stage venture and special situations. Assets total $1.366 billion. The fund maintains membership in the Florida Alternative Investment Association. Service providers include Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company as trustee and recordkeeper since 2016 and KPMG LLP as auditor since 2024. Governance centers on its direct relationship with plan sponsor Weyerhaeuser Company, which sets the mandate for the retirement plan without external family-office structures.
