Consultant/OCIO/Discretionary
The authority is seeking an investment consultant for its over $300 million in retirement plan assets.
The hire concludes an RFQ search launched in September.
The plan has issued an RFP seeking a municipal advisor to provide general advice and counsel to staff as well as guidance on overall industry issues and trends.
The trust fund recently selected a firm to serve as its general investment consultant and help oversee its portfolio following a launched last year.
The incumbent saw its previous general investment consulting relationship transition to an outsourced cio model in 2021.
The retirement system issued an RFI for the services last year and does not currently utilize a dedicated consultant for private markets.
The plan will consider moving forward with a general investment board consultant search at its investment committee meeting this week.
The retirement system expects to conclude the search at a May 9 board meeting.
The plan is seeking firms to provide general and alternatives consulting services.
Nonprofits were busy hiring investment consultants and outsourced cios to oversee their portfolios this year including seven that swapped out their incumbent for new relationships and five that handed over their investment management responsibilities to discretionary providers from either an internal team or a general consultant.
