Trust Fund Management Teams

At MCA Detroit, we pride ourselves on delivering unparalleled experience and expertise in the management of Taft-Hartley trust funds. Our team understands the unique complexities and regulations that govern these multi-employer benefit funds, and we are dedicated to ensuring they are managed with precision, transparency, and efficiency.

 

From navigating compliance requirements to optimizing fund performance, we work closely with trustees to provide tailored solutions that protect the interests of both employers and participants. At the core of our approach is a commitment to excellence, reliability, and the long-term success of the funds we manage.

Taft-Hartley Trust Funds, also known as multiemployer plans, are established through collective bargaining agreements between labor unions and employers. The trustees of these funds have a fiduciary responsibility to manage and protect the assets of the trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants and beneficiaries. This includes ensuring the financial health and sustainability of the fund, making prudent investment decisions, and complying with all relevant laws and regulations. Trustees must act in the best interest of the plan members, balancing the need for growth with the security of the fund's assets. All Trustees are appointed by the Association CEO with approval from the Board of Directors.
