Investment Advisory Services for Taft-Hartley Trusts

Trustees of Taft-Hartley benefit plans have significant fiduciary responsibilities. Every investment decision must be made solely in the best interests of plan participants while balancing long-term investment objectives, liquidity needs, and prudent risk management.

Scott Capital Advisors partners with Taft-Hartley Trusts to provide institutional investment consulting, fiduciary guidance, and disciplined portfolio management designed to help trustees fulfill those responsibilities with confidence.

We serve a variety of Taft-Hartley Trusts, including:

• Apprenticeship & Training Trusts

• Health & Welfare Trusts

• Defined Contribution Retirement Plans

• Labor-Management Cooperation Committees (LMCCs)

• Vacation & Holiday Trusts

• Other Labor  Trusts

More Than Investment Management

Helping trustees fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities requires more than selecting investments.

Trustees are responsible for establishing prudent investment policies, monitoring investment performance, documenting fiduciary decisions, and maintaining an effective governance process. Scott Capital Advisors serves as a trusted resource throughout that process, helping trustees evaluate investment options, understand complex financial issues, and make informed decisions with confidence.

We regularly assist trustees with:

• Investment Policy Statement (IPS) development and review

• Asset allocation and portfolio construction

• Investment manager and fund evaluation

• Performance monitoring and reporting

• Fiduciary education

• Investment committee support

• Governance best practices

Our Process

Understand

We begin by learning about your trust's objectives, governing documents, funding structure, cash flow needs, participant demographics, and long-term investment goals.

Evaluate

We review your current investment program, asset allocation, investment managers, fees, Investment Policy Statement, and governance practices to identify opportunities for improvement and confirm that the investment strategy remains aligned with the trust's objectives.

Implement

We develop institutional investment strategies designed around your trust's unique needs, balancing long-term growth, risk management, liquidity requirements, and cost efficiency.

Partner

Effective fiduciary oversight is an ongoing process.

Through regular trustee meetings, investment reviews, performance reporting, fiduciary education, and market updates, we help trustees remain informed and confident as market conditions, regulations, and trust objectives evolve.
