Paul Slivinski

Paul J. Slivinski is the Executive Director of the Taunton Retirement Board, the local public pension system for City of Taunton employees in Massachusetts. The board’s own history lists Slivinski as Executive Director from 1989 to present, making him a long-tenured public pension administrator rather than a conventional angel investor.

The Taunton Retirement System was established in 1937 and serves city employees, retirees, and survivors. The system’s website states that it is responsible for maintaining approximately $488 million in pension assets and that the board’s mission is to provide retirement benefits, safeguard system assets, and prudently invest pension assets with the goal of becoming fully funded.

PERAC and Taunton Retirement materials identify Slivinski as the board director, board administrator, records access officer, and designated contact for investment-related RFPs. A 2023 PERAC annual report lists Taunton’s market value at $411.0 million at year-end 2023, with asset allocation of 61.0% global equity, 21.3% core fixed income, 15.5% real estate, and 2.4% private equity.

A public LinkedIn profile for Paul Slivinski in Taunton, Massachusetts lists Bridgewater State College as his education. The same profile also lists The BaHa Brothers Band, but the primary professional record supported by government and retirement-system sources is his role with Taunton Retirement.
