El Paso Firemen & Policemen’s Pension Fund

Established in 1920, the El Paso Firemen & Policemen’s Pension Fund (EPFPPF) is a single-employer defined benefit plan serving the uniformed public safety employees of the City of El Paso. The fund is structured into two divisions—Firemen’s and Policemen’s—both overseen by a unified Board of Trustees and administrative team. EPFPPF offers retirement, disability, and survivor benefits, with eligibility and benefit amounts determined by years of service and average salary.

Governed by an 11-member Board of Trustees, the fund's leadership includes three firefighters and three police officers elected by their respective memberships, three members appointed by the Mayor, and two appointed by the City Manager. This diverse governance structure ensures representation from both the fund's beneficiaries and city leadership. The fund's administrative office manages day-to-day operations, including processing retirement requests and maintaining member records.

As of December 31, 2022, EPFPPF reported total net assets of approximately $1.12 billion. The fund actively invests in various asset classes, including private equity. These strategic investments aim to strengthen the fund's financial position and ensure the long-term sustainability of benefits for its members.
