Portico Benefit Service is a multi-employer corporate pension based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Established in 1990, the plan provides retirement, health benefits, and services to enhance the well-being of pastors, rostered laypersons, employees, and their families connected to the Evangelical Lutheran Church In America (ELCA). The pension board partners with congregations, synods, seminaries, churchwide units, and ELCA-affiliated social ministry organizations, to administer the ELCA benefits program. The assets of the fund are managed and governed by the board of trustees.
