Pension funds are legal entities organized to receive contributions from plan sponsors and participants, invest those assets, and distribute retirement income benefits to eligible employees or members. Day-to-day operations typically involve investment management oversight, recordkeeping, benefit administration, trustee governance, and regulatory compliance under ERISA and related federal and state rules. The fund itself is generally not an operating business in the traditional sense — it is a financial vehicle managed by trustees or a board on behalf of beneficiaries.
