Taft-Hartley Plans & Investment Solutions

Dedicated teams and trusted experience to help unions achieve their goals

Taft-Hartley Overview

At PNC, we’re committed to helping you meet your union’s investment goals while letting you focus on what matters most — your members.

Unions today face their own unique set of challenges when it comes to investments, distributions, regulations and benefit plans. PNC helps unions meet those challenges by bringing decades of experience to the table in working with multiemployer benefit funds and delivering innovative solutions. 

Customized Taft-Hartley Solutions

PNC is a strategic advisor with dedicated professionals who specialize in Taft-Hartley funds. We stay on top of the latest regulatory trends and best practices for Taft-Hartley plans, and work diligently to help meet your specific return objectives — all to help you deliver for your membership.

Just as no two unions are alike, no two benefit plans are alike. That’s why we consult with you to understand your union’s unique needs, tailor a solution that fits, and provide proprietary reporting tools that can be customized to function the way that works for you and your trustees. As one of the nation’s largest financial institutions, we offer a full suite of services to help meet your needs, including deposit banking, lending and treasury management.

Our union clients turn to PNC for the proven experience of our professionals with:

  • Defined benefit plans
  • Health and welfare funds
  • Defined contribution plans
  • Apprenticeship and training funds
  • Operating assets

The Tower at PNC Plaza: Built with 100% Union Labor

We support unions not just as clients, but also as essential members of our community. Our 33-story, 800,000-square-foot headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was completed in 2015. This $300 million project created approximately 2,500 temporary construction jobs with nearly 20% of the budget awarded to women- and minority-owned contractors.

By hiring skilled union members, we are proud to call “home” a LEED® Platinum building that is one of the greenest office towers in the world.

Our four-step process includes identifying your goals and projections, analyzing enterprise risk, building a custom investment strategy, and implementing the solution and monitoring key metrics.

Flexible

By building a true relationship, our professionals can act quickly in response to changes in your goals and the regulatory and investing environment.

Dynamic

Our solutions are designed by integrated teams of talented specialists working in unison, including Investment Strategy, Investment Advisor Research, Portfolio Construction and Management, the Portfolio Analytics Group and the Risk Management Team.


Outsourcing your investment management to PNC can simplify your job by taking investment strategy off your plate, and reduce your fiduciary liability by delegating some or all responsibility to your PNC advisor — all of which allows you more time to focus on your members’ needs.
