High-Yield
The plan hired several managers at its board meeting today, totaling more than $1 billion.
The university approved adding a new manager to its endowment to handle a high-yield bond mandate through partial redemptions of two domestic large-cap equity managers.
The search is to potentially replace an incumbent manager due to performance concerns.
The searches follow establishment of new sub-asset class targets of 11% to broad fixed-income and 3% to high-yield within its overall fixed-income target earlier this year.

The searches are part of an implementation plan for its newly increased target allocation to yield-driven strategies.
