§ 22B-114 — Purpose, establishment, and governance

The Fund is established to consolidate the transferor pension funds to streamline investments and eliminate unnecessary and redundant administrative costs, thereby ensuring more money is available to fund pension benefits for the beneficiaries of the transferor pension funds. The transition board trustees and permanent board trustees of the Fund shall be fiduciaries for the participants and beneficiaries of the participating pension funds and shall discharge their duties with respect to the retirement system or pension fund solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries. Further, the transition board trustees and permanent board trustees, acting prudently and as fiduciaries, shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that all of the transferor pension funds are treated equitably and that the financial condition of one participating pension fund, including, but not limited to, pension benefit funding levels and ratios, will have no effect on the financial condition of any other transferor pension fund.
