Non-U.S. & Global Equity
The Lone Star State retirement fund terminated one equity manager and placed another two on watch this week.
The plan replaced its domestic mid-cap value equity manager, which had been on watch since January 2022 due to underperformance.
The plan liquidated a global equity mandate and made $1.5 billion in total commitments in July.
The plan replaced both its passive equity and fixed-income mandates with Vanguard Group as well as its sustainable equity mandate with Neuberger Berman in May.
The new manager joins two global equity managers that were hired last year.
The plan disclosed recent commitments from both the public and private markets.
The plan agreed to redistribute its dedicated emerging markets equity allocation to developed markets equity, private equity, private credit and commodities this week.
The plan is seeking international core, growth and value equity managers to handle roughly $600 million.
The plan liquidated its emerging markets equity fund-of-funds mandate and made $1.3 billion in total commitments in June.
The retirement system’s general investment consultant will return to next month’s board meeting with an international small-cap equity search.
