AFRF

On May 24, 2023, the Austin Firefighters Retirement Fund issued a Request for Information (RFI) to evaluate current offerings for depository banks. The goal of the RFI is to ensure that the Fund continually has access to high quality banking and payment services.

Welcome to our new website! The Austin Firefighters Retirement Fund staff has been hard at work with its vendor to bring you this completely redesigned and modernized site with a better user interface on both desktop and mobile platforms. The new web address is AFRFund.org. Our previous domain name of afrs.org will reroute to this site for the time being. You can still reach us at staff@afrs.org, but please note that our email address will be updated to reflect our new domain name in the coming months. For members who are accustomed to accessing and submitting forms through the member login section of our previous website, you can continue to access the necessary forms on our Active Forms and Retiree Forms pages. However, the Member Portal will not be available until 2025. When released, the Member Portal will have vastly greater functionality than the member login section of our previous site. In the meantime, please contact our office directly for member service requests including form submission. We are available Monday – Friday from 8am-5pm by phone at (512) 454-9567 and by email at staff@afrs.org. We are also available to meet in-office by appointment.

The Fund's custodial bank, State Street, has provided a memorandum regarding the safety of Fund assets. 

The proposed revisions to the Ethics Policy, as discussed in the March Board Meeting, can be reviewed in the document below. If you have any comments to share with the Board prior to their final approval, please email staff@afrs.org.

The Fund's investment consultant, Meketa, has provided a memorandum regarding a market update on Silicon Valley Bank.
