The 2015 assessment for the PLF Primary Plan remained unchanged at $3,500 for the fifth consecutive year. Despite some significant claims, 2014 marked the Fund’s third consecutive year with a strong financial performance. The net gain of $1.66 million was a drop from the 2013 net gain, due largely to a decrease in investment income and higher claim costs.

Total Fund equity is now approximately $11 million.  Read the full 2014 Annual Report here.
