The Laborers’ and Retirement Board Employees’ Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago (the “LABF”) was established in 1935 for the purpose of providing retirement and disability benefits to employees of the City of Chicago or the Board of Education who may be employed in a laboring capacity and to the beneficiaries of such employees. Employees of three City of Chicago retirement boards are also members of the LABF. The LABF is governed by an eight-member Board of Trustees and currently employs approximately 20 full-time staff members. The LABF currently has over 8,000 members and $1.3 billion in investment assets.
