The CAAT Plan is funded at 124% with a funding reserve of $4.7B and $18.2B in assets under management as of January 1, 2023. We have 82,900 members in our Plan and 291 participating employers, and we’re growing! What’s different about CAAT?

We are committed to our core belief in the power and efficiency of a jointly governed, multi-employer defined benefit pension plan.
